I AM JUST LOVING MY SLEEVE!!! I was sleeved on May 3 and have lost a total of 60 pounds including my preop diet! WOOHOO!!! :D I leave on a cruise in 2 weeks, which I have already hit my goal for the cruise!! I haven't weight this little in at least 10 years!!!!

Thankfully I started this with a very thick head of hair, because I have lost alot of hair, I totally feel and see the difference, but the doc put me on some certain Vitamins, so that it will help with the hair loss..

I have only hit a 10 days stall..hopefully by saying that I don't jinks myself..but the whole process has been great!!! There are some days that I don't hit my Protein, I sometimes feel like I should be eating another meal, not cause I'm hungry but to get the extra protein...

I hope everyone is doing well!! Thanks for reading!!!

I was sleeved August 4th . I'm doing ok with pain. My question to you is "did you have problems once you swallowing at first?" I swallow Water or any liquid and then I can't take another drink unless I belch. Is this normal and will it go away? Congrats on your weight loss!

Skyblew...Yes!! Seeing you are only 4 days postop, you are still getting the affects of the gas...this will get better each day... I still have gas at 14 weeks, but they should have put you on something to help with it like Nexium of something...but at least the gas is coming up thats a good thing!! Hope everything else is going good for you!!

That is so fantastic congratulations. I had my surgery on May 3 too. I'm down 47lbs and loving every bit of it. I also have started to notice quite a bit of hairloss recently. Thankfully, on my side as well I had a thick head of hair. I take Biotin. It doesn't stop the Hair loss, but it is to increase Hair growth. I hope you have a great time on your cruise. WTG!!

RIGHT ON!!! I am so happy for you! I was sleeved May 2 and am down 63 since my pre-op days. I can't believe how much better I feel. Not just physically but mentally as well. I totally hated myself every time I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror. I know I shouldn't be so wrapped up in my appearance but hey...it's part of me. I have had 11 kids and I totally didn't want to look like I had 11 kids! Losing the weight has just made me so much happier. And I know that this time I will be able to keep it off. My sleeve and I are in this together. I basically eat whatever I want to..just small amounts. It is so awesome!

Have a blast on your cruise!! How fun for you!

Living the dream!!,

      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.
