Hi, to all my other May sleevers out there. So everyone should be at or close to their two months surgiversary. Congratualtions!!! I hope everyone is doing well and on the right track to feeling back to normal. I just wanted to post this so everyone could share their own update and also any down falls they have had. We are all new to the process and can share in the new sleeve experience together. I have been keeping a pretty detailed blog, 1 monthly, of my stats including weight loss, sizes, inches and personal notes if anyone is looking for more information. So good news I am 10 weeks out and down 41lbs. Yippee!! Can't wait to see what another two months will bring.I am attaching a pic from back in January at my heaviest of aroun 273lbs. My best friend and I were on our way back from the chili bowl and oh my do I look horrible. I am sure I can show a better pic of me, but this is a full body shot I found which is rare. Plus I dont want to disguise how big I really was. The second pic is just of last week before going out with friends. 40+ lbs. makes a differnce.

      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.
