I am posting this here because I am not a success YET, but i have hit the 70lb mark today! The scale is moving again and I am ecstatic. I have started walking at a local park and I am sure that is helping. I feel better than I have in a long while, and I have quite a ways to go! Loving my sleeve :D

Attached are some pics starting at my bffs wedding a week before my consultation, along my 6 mos pre-op diet and about 2 weeks ago which was approximately 6 weeks out. As you can see I am a camera ***** :P and I am sure I will enjoy taking pics even more now :lol:

Looking good!

I know you don't consider it a success yet, but I think 70 pounds lost forever is a success! Just keep building on the success... :)

You are doing great and you look like you have lost way more than 70 pounds by your pictures. I am at 68 pounds and although I can tell the difference in my pictures - you can REALLY tell in your pictures. Stay strong, keep working on your journey and you will continue to do great!

      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.
