I've had an amazing week, just wanted to share. First, I bought a size 6 pair of pants (down from a 22 last July). Secondly, I took my resting heart rate Tues. and it was 60 (down from 80-85 a year ago). Then I had my measurements done at Curves today and have lost a total of 72.5 inches!

And my most exciting news was that I got a new job this week. One that I would have never had the confidence to even apply for a year ago. There's travel involved and a lot of interaction with people. Before I was always so tired and did everything to avoid being around people because I was so ashamed of how I looked. I love my sleeve and just want to thank God for this opportunity to live life to it's fullest!

Congratulations! I'm a year behind you and looking forward to similar victories. I have my eye on some possible career changes that I just don't have the balls to go for at my current weight. But in about a year, IT'S ON!!!! :tongue_smilie:

      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.
