I cant believe that i am about 4 months out now and have lost about 40 pounds since surgery. seems slow to me but the change is unreal. from my absolute highest weight of 318, on my own, with pre op diet and surgery too, i am down a total of 108 pounds. holy cow! it took me forever to see the change...i guess looking at myself everyday makes it harder? i dunno. it wasnt until i went to buy new capris that the change was real. i started at a 24 and am now in a 16. there are days when i get frustrated with my sleeve, but it is the best thing that i have ever done for me and my family. i am more energetic and happy. I just wanted to say thanks to those who went before me, when i came to this site to read up about what i was getting into....you all helped influence this choice and have been very supportive. no regrets...just one day at a time. :-)

now i just wish this cold weather would go away again so i could enjoy these new clothes lol!

      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.
