I sure hope so brotha. I used to be so active before. Football, bball, soccer....name it i played it. The weight just kept creeping up littlle by little. Then i tore my acl and that was my end of sporting activities. I go by the playgrounds now and i am like a little wishing i can play just one more game. Hopefully with hard work and discipline the sleeve will be the tool that gives me that chance again. I wish all the luck to all

That's great!! Question-- have you had any issues of loose skin? If not, do you think the px90 is helping?

So, I'm 40 but I look 10 years younger now than I did 4 months ago, does that count?

Started at a low Bmi of 33. Height is 5'9.5" (every bit counts right ladies:) ) and started around 220. 9 week later, right at 180 and feeling excellent.

I'm back out on the soccer field evrey week after my knees had given up. I sleep waaaaay better, and simply love the progress and the new lifestyle the sleeve provides. I was headed down a scary path that many of my family members lead the way on. Ever since I was injured about ten years ago, it's been a yo-yo struggle ending up on the verge of diabetes and a 4th knee surgery.

Best decision I have ever made!

      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.
