Hi! I'm 43 and was sleeved on July 23. It's been a much harder journey than I expected. Now that the pain has subsided, I'm at the "stall" part of my journey! ((Grr))

Just checking in....I was sleeved two weeks before my 49th bday back in March. I am down 83 pounds and am so thankful that I had this done. Almost to my half way mark in 6 months and am hoping to make goal within a year. The next 6 months will be harder but I am up for the challenge.

I was sleeved on June 18, 2012 and I'm down 67 lbs. I'm 47 yrs old, have been married to the most wonderful man for 32 amazing years ( he took me to Hawaii two years ago and renewed our vows on the most beautiful beach in the world, barefoot and all, just because that has always been my dream, he made it come true!) I have 3 wonderful kids, the last of which just graduated from college, whoop whoop! I have 5 beautiful grandchildren and I know without a doubt if I had not had this surgery I was not going to last very long, my quality of life was horrible! Thank God for the sleeve, it saved my life!!!!

Hello, I turned 40 in July. Single mum to one. He's 19 and a charmer but he's slowly sending me grey with his lifestyle choices. Every cloud has a silver lining though. It gives me an excuse to treat myself to hair dye :)

My surgery is on Friday. I don't know what time but I've got to be at the hospital by 7am so that means getting a train at 5am. I don't think I'll do much sleeping tomorrow night! I'm starting to get nervous now as I'll be going on my own. Eek! :unsure:

      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.
