I'm glad I found this app!!! I read all of these great weight loss stories and I feel like a little over 50lbs lost just isn't enough for five months out. I really go through a variety of emotions, however, I am pleased these past few weeks since I've lost 8lbs in two weeks after being stalled for two months. I like the benefits of the sleeve, however I find thAt I experience what could be hyperglycemia. I eat right, drink my shakes and then around two pm I want to hit up Dunkin Donuts. Has anyone else experienced these cravings and how did u deal with it?

I look forward to spending a lot of time on this app :)

Carbs are the devil! STAY AWAY at all costs. You have been through all this, and the last thing you want is to slow your roll. Find something else yummy to fill up on...I like meat and veggies, as I am a southern chic, but surely you have something else to please you. Stay strong, and remember how much you want this. Get on here, call a friend....anything, but don't give in to the carbs. They aren't worth it. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you....I no longer give into bad carbs, however, I do eat good carbs (whole grains, fruits, etc.) and increasing my intake of whole grains has kept me full longer and gotten rid of my afternoon donut cravings.

      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.
