Fellow twin mamas with sleeves, awesome!

My DD is 17 and was 10 lbs at birth, my belly never recovered and my weight went up and down and up. Had twins June 12,2010. 120 kgs? ~ 250lbs?

Lost some weight on my own, 98 kgs at sleeve time so had lost just over 40 lbs with 8 months of 1200 calories a day and exercise 6 + hours a week.

sleeve was offered to me as a tool to help me make some real progress and maintain.

Sleeved june26, 10 days ago.. Can't wait to share some before and afters with u all!!

Okay I decided since I've been basically the same weight for the last 6 months, I might be "done" losing scary thought, BUT I'm not going to change my ticker yet, as I still have an aspirational goal that I would like to someday achieve.

But I finally am putting up my before/after shots...It truly is astounding to see the difference!! (Click on them to see them larger)

Wow. What a transformation!

I just have to say that everyone in this thread is amazing. I am getting sleeved soon and being ehre reading all these success stories are so encouraging to me. I take in all the advice and hints so that my loss will be successful post-op. I do have one question for those of you that have done so great.......what do you do to prefent all the gastly sagging skin? Is there a secret to help avoid it after surgery? I feel it is inevitible and I think God I have an awesome husband, but sure would like to not have to go through an additional surgery when all is said and done if there is something I can do to keep it from being so horrible. I expect some, but if I can help I want to do it with dedication. Another problem I have is I am 61 so that doesn't help I am sure, but I love to work out. After winning Atlanta's Biggest Loser in 2010 I learned how to work out effectively so I am not afraid of work. I weighed 269 when I started that competition and lost to 235. It was awesome, but I have gained 15 back since then, hense decided it is time to take drastic measures with the sleeve.

Any helps and hints are an added bonus to me.

      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.
