I had my gastric sleeve done the end of May 2013 and it's 5 months - I've lost EIGHTY POUNDS - I'm BEYOND THRILLED - doing much better than anticipated. I can't believe how my appetite cravings have been reduced & the old cravings I had for the sugary/salt carb addictive goods I obsessed about previously have virtually disappeared! My husband can bring them in the house & I have NO interest in them. And what with the inherent Portion Control - what a blessing; I never experienced that before & always felt hungry on all those old diets I tried. Prior to the surgery, I was TIRED ALL THE TIME, I would conk out generally in the afternoon & have to take a long nap just to survive.....now I have all kinds of energy.....carrying all that extra weight is a drain. I just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the sleeve. My only worry is that I might stretch it out & gain weight back. I plan to continue to maintain my food diaries (fitnesspal.com) to keep me on track...I find that really helps me. So yeah my journey has been unforeseeably exciting & rewarding for me & my family!

      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.
