I am so happy for you! I have had a couple of hiccups, but nothing that has even made me think of regret about doing this surgery. Keep it going!! Stay excited with each new pound gone!! Congrats!!

That is so great! I was sleeved on 4/17. I can't tell you what I have lost so far. I do know that I lost 25ish lbs within a few weeks after surgery. I am not chasing the scale. That would be too stressful for me with fluctuations. I am going on how I feel and how my clothes are fitting currently. I would like to share experiences, challenges and successes, if that is good with you. Hopefully more of us sleeved in that timeline would join. I need a support group. :-)

      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.
