Thank you for all the compliments sleeve sisters and brothers! I am greatful that I was able to have this life changing surgery. I feel so blessed!

The support, information and advise we find on forum has kept me focused on doing the right things and accountable. I know that some people are just exploring their options, some are just starting their journey, some are post-VSG and are on their way. I used to look at before & after pictures and dream about the possibility of someday posting my own - those pictures kept me motivated and encouraged! So if I can pay-it-forward and help one person on their journey - that would be awesome.

Cheers to the New Year! I am sending you all wishes for a happy year filled with health, prosperity, success, love and loads of fun!

Kimmes, I've said it before and I'll say it again! You look amazing! You are soooo trim! What an amazing transformation. As you know I have been sleeved nearly 18mths now and I still love looking at goal pics and reading other people's journeys... when I see successes as brilliant as yours, it really does motivated me to get to my goal too! Congratulations on being a motivator and a big loser! =]

COOPS - You have inspired me on my journey! You went before me and I have read each of your posts and admired your determination and focus! Thank you for always sharing your story! I love being called a "Big Loser" - what a nice compliment - lol!

      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.
