That's an incredible amount! You must post a ticker for everyone to see your journey. I am 7 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 43 lbs, however that includes my pre-op weight loss. I am completely happy with that amount but am curious as to how you are losing so much so fast and I am sure other people are curious also. Please post some insight into your success! Way to go...you are definately using your sleeve to your advantage!

Thank you everyone!! And congrats to all of u on your weightloss also!! This is an amazing tool! As far as how I've done it.....the first 6 weeks were hell with the post op diet but I think now it completly changed my tastebuds! I tried to cheat and get a piece of chocolate and with one bite realized I don't like chocolate anymore (which is awesome because that was my weakness)....also I tried to drink a soda and it also tasted terrible to me. So now if I have any sugar head hunger I go to fruit and it works! I have always been a very picky eater and wouldn't even try many different things and I always ate crap and fast food. Now I have cravings for things I've never even tried! I also have to remind myself I need to eat a lot of the time because I'm never actually hungry. I eat a lot of tuna with no bread, I keep the carbs to a minimum during the week but unusally on the weekend if we have a carb with dinner I will have a bite or two. Breakfast is usually a carnation Breakfast drink and I only use reduced fat milk, lunch tuna or deli ham (no bread), dinner I usually only eat the meat and veggies of whatever I make for my family for dinner. I also ride bikes often and do P90x, I have to take it easy I find because I'm not eating enough calories to give me tons of to burn off.

Any questions or suggestions on how I can do better or more?! I don't want u all to think I never do anything bad cause I have, and there have been many days where I have sat on the couch and was just too tired to do anything! There were days where we ended up eating out and I would try to choose the best thing for me but fast food is fast food.

I hope this helps or at least gives u all some insight on what I've been doing or not doing lol.....

Sophie good luck on ur appt in sept and u will do great! Best choice u could make!

      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.
