I go to da gym 4 days a wk. I think my job has something to do with it because it's more of a physical job so that has something to do wit it as well. Oh yea I still don't eat bread, Pasta, candy nor do I drank sodas.

Hey u look great we look about the same in weight lost . I was 240 n now I'm 163 . It has a lot to do with not eating all those foods. I was sleeved on 1-8-13 so it's been really good . I wish everyone well . Doing this has changed me so much I actually feel like I dropped off the person I was carrying . That's such a load off.

I am back. Was not able to get back on the sure for awhile. December 19,2013 will be my 4 month anniv. I am down 70 lbs and is just starting to feel fabulous. Went from size 20 down to 12. This life change has run me for a loop still not eating as much. How great is this. For the holidays I did not eat like there was no tomorrow. food was not an issue for me. I am learning to walk away. Started at 255 and now I am down to 185.

Hi,

I'm an A A sleever in NY. I had my sleeve sep. 27,2013. Started wl journey at 260 lbs, was at 240 before my sleeve at last docs apptmnt was 202 lbs. I have had some set backs, I've been to er 3 times for dehydration. Hospitalized once for severity, will be having hiatus hernia repair in Jan. My surgeon thinks it's interfering with sleeve. I still don't get enuf liquids or Protein, food down <sigh> ...still I have no regrets, I feel a little weak but better than I have in years. I just pulled my bullet back out and Isopure vanilla. I maid a smoothie like the ones I used to make when I started clean eating, kale, spinach, blueberries, and strawberries, Hershey unsweetened dark cocoa, a little instant folgers, 8 oz soy milk all in bullet...32 grms.. of protein and went down ok. Bottom line is even with the little fight I enjoyed it, so repeat.....A few of my scars did keloid, I started with a flap of skin because of 2 c - sections and an ectopic. Let's not talk breast, I started in the itty bitty titty comittee so not really concerned. Oh I'm 47 yrs old, and I'm deemed disabled because of my commodities. So I don't really have hope for plastic surgery. :( Idc I will be healthier, and hopefully live longer. So I say All this to say I'm thankful for the journey, as for the unpleasantness this too shall pass.....so hallelujah any how!!!

You need to move to Shreveport ill get u on the right track

So, I'm a little nervous! I feel like I am getting a side throat and my survey is on Tuesday. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding any remedies I can take to resolve this ordeal. I refuse to let anything stand in my way and my destiny for this procedure to occur on Tuesday.

      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.
