Hello Everyone.!

I am new to this site and I am set to be sleeved 01/13/2014. I am nervous but excited for what my future holds. I pray for no complications and a smooth transition. I am also having my gallbladder removed due to complications I have been having for the past year with it. I will continue to look at this site for guidance and to hear others and there stories.

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself to everyone. I was sleeved on the 19th of Dec. As of last week I was 23 pounds down. I will have my 3 week post op weigh in tomorrow. I love my sleeve with all my heart. No complications. No pain. Having trouble remembering to eat and drink but that's not the worse thing in the world! :) wishing everyone the best!

ualaw08- can you provide us with your starting stats? Weight/Height? Just wondering as I'm scheduled to be sleeved 1/13/14 and getting an idea of where somone started helps me get a gauge for where I may be. Btw I'm 5'3 HW-220

Best wishes to all the newbies. You're going to start on your way to a rewarding, but sometimes frustrating journey. You'll have successes, stalls, and some issues with your new sleeve, but your life is going to change for the better. I was sleeved on 2/19/13 and have lost 116lbs on my way to my goal of a total of 150lbs lost.

Thanks for sharing! It helps much to see where I could be in less than ONE YEAR ????! I am so looking forward to my future! Sleeved on 12-18 and down 24 lbs today. Saw the doc today and free to start working out a bit more. Hopefully, that will give me more energy.

      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.
