Hello Fellow SLEEVERS!!!

Its been just over 4 months since I had VSG in Mexico! This journey has been very kind to me thus far and I must say that I have made the most amazing decision for myself and Im so glad that I did this!!!!

4 months ago I was 214lbs and losing much of my self esteem as a young woman. Im 22 years old and I really felt ashamed of my appearance. I felt like I was a burden in my relationship with my husband because I was very insecure about myself even though he is one man in my life that I can trust with anything! I was wearing size 16 pants and size XL shirts, some of which were getting pretty tight :( HOWEVER>>>> I had VSG and since then there have been many changes!!!!

TODAY I am 158lbs and wearing a size 8/9 in pants and size S/M in shirts depending on the stores!!! All i want to do is get together with my friends and husband and do things that normal 20 somethings do :D I feel as though Im slowly building up my self esteem and I know that my husband loves that my confidence is also building!!!

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon this procedure and decided on going through with it!! I hope that anybody who is truly thinking of a permanent way to weightloss gives this a consideration... because it has been an amazing tool in helping me!!!

You look gorgeous, and you look like you are READY to enjoy your twenties!!!! I wish I had done this in my 20's (but, I don't think it was too popular or known way back then :D).

      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.
