Hi Chyna,

I got sleeved this past september when I was 25 and it was the best choice I have ever made. I have tried dieting and exercise for years consistently but it was never enough, I needed help. It is a great decision and a lifestyle change. Its still hard, but knowing you have this tool will keep you motivated. Congratulations on moving in the right direction. I'm here if you have any questions.

Was sleeve 12/13 best decision I have ever made. Learning how to eat is a serious learning curve but it well worth it just from my early results. From 290 in September to 260 in December by myself (pre-op). Now month 1 I dropped 16lbs and month 2 18lbs so yeah I'm pretty happy i have 60lbs to go at this rate I should see that with the next 3 months

Doing fantastic! The best thing I have ever done for myself. Now, I am not losing as quickly as these other ladies, but I am still very happy with my progress. I could not ask for a better opportunity in regard to my health!

      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.
