Can't believe it's been 4 weeks already. I'm feeling good, with the exception of a cold or allergies. (can't tell which one it is...maybe both)but the great news is that I'm down 19.5/20 lbs since surgery (50 lbs total) and I am so grateful for this. I haven't felt this good in years...The sleeve is definately the tool that gives one a new lease on life when used properly. With a very slow metabolism,(almost backwards, as my primary care Dr. stated) I'm looking at a slower, but steady progressive downward slope, which is just fine with me :) It's exciting :thumbup:to be back participating in life once again, rather than just exsisting in it!!!:biggrin0: Here's wishing everyone a wonderful and beautiful day!!. Talk later, Bye

Congratulations on a great first month! I completely understand about the almost backwards metabolism. That's why my primary doctor recommended WLS to me. I hope your second month is just as exciting!

Congrats! Slow and steady - that has been my routine so far. Not huge exciting numbers but progressive and I am happy with that.

The time certainly does go fast! Glad you are feeling so well : )

      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.
