Hang in there. I'm 3 years post op and have gained about 20 pounds. Just got refocused 7 days ago. Cut the carbs down to 25, upped the protein to 60-80 grams. First week I'm down 3 pounds. Stay...

Don't worry about losing too much weight. I had the surgery 3 years ago with a 29 BMI. You will lose the right amount of weight. For me it was just about 52 pounds. It still took some time. The...

I'm five months post-op. I get between 850-1200 calories per day. This includes 60-80 grams of protein and less than 45 grams of carbs. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I really need to hear this today. Be blessed!

Congratulations and Happy Birthday. Today is also my birthday. Hope you have an amazing day!

Had surgery on October 27th. Started the journey in September at 192. Today I'm 156 and happier than I can ever remember being. The weight loss is slow but very steady. Best decision I ever made!

I was sleeved on 10/27. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to get through the process but I did. I've lost 30 pounds since starting the process. I'm completely free of all diabetes and blood...

Congratulations!! That's amazing. You are very brave. Keep moving forward!

Great news!!!

I'm from Illinois and I have BCBS. I was sleeved on 10/27 with no insurance problems at all! Good luck!

I'm a week into my pre-op diet and have 2-3 shakes and one meal consisting of 3 oz of protein and up to 2 cups of green veggies. It's been tough but I'm so excited at the changes my body is making. ...
