So in the last couple of days I've had some WOW monents, I wanted to share with you all........before surgery I was wearing a 4x pants to work this morning I put on a pair of 2x pants. Yesterday I walked to the grocery store up the street from my job which is up a hill and I had to walk up about 30 steps. I'm so proud of myself and happy as well.

Awesome!!!

I've gotta tell ya, with the whole weight loss journey - it's the NSV's that keep me moving along more than checking the scale. Keep up the excellent work!! :) Keep sharing your successes with us too! It keeps me even more motivated!

My insurance didn't cover my operation, but due to where I live, I was able to have the sleeve done in Lima, Peru for $5,000. Losing weight has bought me my freedom back. Freedom to smile again and feel good about getting out. I had my surgery last month and down 35 pounds, BMI was 40, now it is 34, so I am on my way. I say WOW every day. Great job everyone. Your stories inspired me my first two weeks, when post-op wasn't so much fun as now!

      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.
