I can tell you I started out at 241lbs and I'm 5'6". As of this morning I am 2 pounds from my goal, which I am hoping to reach before my 35th birthday which is about 2 weeks away. If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer anything.

Good Luck on Your Journey!!!

Nichole

Congrats on getting sleeved. How is it going with your sleeve?

It's going alright. I'm testing it more than I should. But I'm getting used to it... I'm in the full liquid stage now. Have another week to go.

i have not thrown up at all (except for the day after surgery, but that had nothing to do with eating, it was just nausea from the anesthesia). and the only time i have discomfort is when i try and eat more than a bite or two of solid food. i imagine it's just because it's still early and my healing stomach prefers the liquids.

That is good to know. I get nervous about vomiting and the nausea. I'm such a baby :)

Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm 24 years old. I had surgery on 3/19/12 and I'm feeling really good. My starting weight was 246 and I'm down to 228! 18lbs in 3 weeks and 2 days!!! That is very good encouragement for me and tells me that I'm finally going to beat this battle. Good luck with your journey:-)

      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.
