Welcome! And best of luck with your pre-surgery diet and upcoming surgery. It figures your husband has lost more weight than you, doesn't it? My husband and I did WW together a few years ago. He lost 40 lbs and I only lost 7 lbs! Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!! LOL! Now I'm getting close to his weight (I'm 6'1", an inch taller than he is ) and he has been eating everything I leave behind. I am looking forward to the day I weigh less than he does!

I realized this morning that I weigh less than my husband for the first time in 27 years. He's 6'2" and I'm 5'4"! It feels really good, too :)

I've been stuck at 97 lbs for three weeks now. Not sure what I can do to make it to 100lbs since I've been very disciplined since I had surgery.

Hello 50's Sleevers! I was sleeved LAST year 10/25/12. Wt loss slower than i'd hoped but i'll take it. Sometimes I see new pic or when wearing new outfit, and wonder WHO is this person?!?! Never been this small. Almost no wt loss for over 4 months now. So frustrating! But, Need to get back on track and drink Water, etc. hair still falls out from time to time.

No regrets! Hope to get in the 190's eventually.

F/51 5'10

I was sleeved sept 10 this year. I'm really getting out and about again, walking, and just feel good. Starting weight 188 today 168 not much but it's okay I know what I need to do to lose better, walk way more and bring my bike back to my room. I've got 35 lbs to go I'm 5'3".

Next week I am going on my very first cruise I am really excited. I wish I were already sleeved and well on my way to my goal weight. I would love to look good but that didn't happen so I will go on my cruise enjoy my family and vacation and the food. When I get back I will prepare for my surgery which is scheduled for the 25th of November. This is a very exciting time in my life.

I am getting ready to go on a cruise and I was sleeved 5/15. But this definately is not my first one

I am just gonna eat meat and take a couple Protein Bars with me (just in case) and a bag of Jerky

I will be having one bite of the deserts at night.

And I am taking my workout clothes, gonna do the walk or the treadmill.

And maybe try a little alcohol.

Have fun it is your vacation

Hello everyone' date=' I am getting sleeved 3/14. I was wondering if my energy level will come back. I am 51 5'6 and weigh 254. I am tired all the time. Anyone?[/quote']our stats were almost identical. It took a good six months till I felt way stronger than pre op. I have a ton more stamina now, but I don't think I'll ever have the stamina I had in my 20s and 30s again. I was thin and fit and could go like a mad woman.

      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.
