I had the sleeve on Oct. 29, 2008. I am down 117 lbs. Still losing. I am glad I had the surgery I feel so much better. Everyone always makes comments and says I look and act like a different person. Its nice to hear it.

I havent found it hard to work on the weight loss. The doctor told me that I should get about 1000-1200 calories a day, but Im lucky if I get 800-900. I dont really have any foods that I like in particular. I just try to get my Protein in. I can never do it with just food so in the morning I have a sugarfree carnation instant Breakfast with Unjury mixed in.

Is that the Unjury unflavored Protein powder? And is it TRULY unflavored??

It's GNC unflavored whey Protein. It has no taste. I had my daughter who has a nose like a blood hound stick her nose in the container and she said it has no smell.

      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.
