Wow! Your doing fantastic!
I can't believe how time has flown this year!
My 2 week pre surgical diet weight was 242 December 6, 2016
Surgery was December 20, 2016...
my current weight is 152. Which makes me 90 pounds down, with a BMI OF 27.
My goal is currently 135, which allows me to reach a healthy BMI of 24.
When I get there, I will reevaluate.
Doing well weight loss is slow going now, but I feel good, I look good, so I don't obsess. I'm enjoying my new weight and enjoy shopping. I still weigh myself daily, and keep an eye on everything I eat, but I have been known to taste test a thing here or there, but do not consume the foods that are not allowed.
I'm look forward to loosing the last 17 pounds before my 1 year anniversary.

All in all, regardless of all the hiccups, such as the hematoma that I developed in the recovery room, the reflux, that requires that I take daily medicine to control and now the gallbladder removal that I will undergo in 2 days.... the sleeve is still the best thing I ever have done for myself. It has allowed me the opportunity to gain control over my food, and has allowed me to be a healthier person.

December 14th was my date and I am really pleased and happy.... I feel so good! I wish all of you success.... remember not to judge you by comparing yourself to someone else's achievements. Our journeys are different in so many ways.

What’s everyone’s height?

I was sleeved dec 9 and my SW was 255 and I am now fluctuating between 163 and 166. I am 5’9 so my BMI is 24 which is normal now but I’d like to get down to 155 lbs so it gives me room to gain weight without being overweight.

I lost all my weight without doing any exercise but paying attention to what I ate. But I really now need to tone up my body because it’s very loose.

I don’t really know what I’ll do to celebrate.. I would normally eat something terrible but since that’s not a good idea, maybe my wife and I will go on a date or something..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
