Hello everyone I've been sleeve since July 20th by Dr. Juarez from Fresno Ca. and I was weighting 366 lbs. that day. But highest weight was 375lbs. Now it has been 17 weeks post-op and I am now weighting 297 lbs., where I am down 78 lbs from highest weight ad 69 lbs since surgery date. For me it has been a good experince not only because I am loosing weight and getting my self esteem up, but also that day of the surgery Dr. Juarez discovered a tumor on my pancreas that is bening and he will be doing a surgery to remove it pretty soon before it turns into cancer. Thank God I had my sleeve done and this tumor discovered on time.

      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.
