Hi There,

I am new here and was inspired by this post! I am almost 5 weeks post-op but am a little worried aboutmy results. Have only lost 16 or so pounds and do not have much of a feeling of restriction when I eat. Can you give me an idea of what you eat in the run of a day in order to have lost that much weight? I started at 319 pre-surgery, down from 360 last summer. I'm what everyone considers to be a very attractive "big woman" yet after my divorce, 8 years ago, I have never been asked out on a date. Still single and wanting so bad to move on. I felt like my sleeve would help that happen for me but it seems to be slow going compared to most. I don't seem to have any post-op problems- I can eat and drink together, I can eat 5 oz of fish or other things no problem when I hear most hurt after 2 oz. Can you let me know what your food day looks like? Are you working out? I joined the gym yesterday as I think I am ready for some exercise now, a little over 4 weeks post-op. Thanks!

      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.
