How are all the Middle East sleevers doing? I'm happy to say my weight is still dropping slowly but steadily, am down 24kgs now. My main problem now is the darn hair loss has started- I feel like I'm shedding like a dog. Aaaargh!

Im stalling but am down 105.3 now.Still drinking too much milk every day,in the tea.Playing squash twice a week,pilates reformer twice a week and still wobble like a jelly fish!

My hair seems to have stopped falling out,or less at least but I cannot see new growth.Am looking with a magnifier and no,there's nothing!What's up with that?

I wish i did my surgery with dr.Faruq so I could have gone to his support group.Need more contact with fellow losers..lol

Hows the eating going at work?

Am scheduled for surgery on December 13 with Dr. Al Taie (decided to change surgeons after meeting with Smoggy and, then, consulting with him directly. Three incisions and one drain tube are a lot better than five and two respectively, and, besides, he doesn't require a preoperative diet B) ).

Congratulations on the continued weight loss Smoggy. I thought you looked great when we met three weeks ago.

Lol - I was off school with a bug!

Wow you are going GREAT! I would love to see you!

Eating at work is fine - I wangled it so I don't have duties over lunch. Only problem is the kids must think I need fattening up or something- they keep bringing me treats like cupcakes and donuts. Mostly I pass them on but occasionally they do get past my lips!

Will call soon :)

Hi Mason, well I'm still not quite there- an inspector at work asked me if I was pregnant today! Lol - she was horrified when I said no!

I'm sure all will go well on the 13th, will pass that onto our mutual friend who has now decided on Al Noor too. ...

      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.
