Hi tiredofbeingtired,
I'm also being sleeved in August my date is thr 12th, I see my Dr again on the 1st as a follow up to having a hernia repair with him done the time he removed my band as I think its split again but to also just go through things with him again. I think he recommends the Opti diet 2 weeks prior, although I'm kinda starting a little now, just to get use to things, but from the 4-9th of August I'm going to Fiji so i'm going to try sticking to basics like veggies, salads and fish as i've already paid for all my meals.
One of my good friends had the sleeve 21 weeks ago and has lost 60 kg's, although saying that he's been going hard at the gym too, I hope I lose at a good rate, but I'm also scared it's not going to work or there will be complications, I'm sure everyone feels like this coming up to the surgery date.
Ideally I'd like to have dropped 20- 25kg's by Christmas and then the remainder by Feb 24 (my birthday) my goal is to lose 35kgs. I'd be happy to be a size 12 so what ever I need to lose to be that I guess.
Whats the average loss for most sleevers per week? With limited exercise ( i ask this as i've a bad ankle and cardio is out)
Cheers
Mandy
