Hi all, I'm 41 (will be 42 in May, and hoping to be at my 1st goal by then to). I am scheduled for 12/19 and hope for a quick and easy recovery. My daughter is having her 1st child in April and I'm hoping to be under 200 at that point. Good luck to all of you in your journey's.

Hi Y'all!

Just checking in! Boy how things have changed since starting this post back in July of 2010 (1 month prior to sleeve). All my weight loss dreams have come true and THEN some

:)

I am at 27 months post sleeve surgery, and 18 months at goal (maintenance)...My last weigh in, last week I was 147.1...lowest weight 144, goal 150.

I will be 45 years old this month and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful to God for my sleevie! I can't believe I'm still wearing the same clothes since May 2011 (when I hit goal)...Sleevie is one of the best gifts ever!

Best wishes and much love to all my fabulous 40's family! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dawn. Congrats on your surgery date! Good luck! Please let me know how it all went.

Appreciate the well wishes Tionna. Will definitely be sharing my experience. With time to think over this weekend, I am considering asking my nurse at my clinic tomorrow (11/12/2012) if there is a possibility of doing the surgery at the end of this month (November)... I am so hyped up, the surgery is all I can think about since I got my insurance approval -- I just want to get this next phase of the journey on an poppin!!

42 here.

Getting sleeved on January 8. Was more or less normal in college at 21 (235ish). Was up to 362 at age 30. Began a decade of losing, gaining, losing, gaining. 50-60 lbs. each time. Finally decided in December 2011, 'ENOUGH.'

Am very nervous about what's ahead, but ready and looking at it with a clear head.

Goal is to get back down into my ratty college-era t-shirt from 1992. :)

      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.
