Congrats on the best thing you are doing for yourself, it is worth it.

Realistic? YES, I am down 86lbs in 10 weeks post op. It can be done and your goal is very realistic.

It's no secret really, I just made up my mind as you have and you will see the improvement.

For me:

No more snoring

No more CPAP

No more urinary incontinence(ugh always had to pee and hurry to find a mens room)

No more choleteral meds

No more high blood pressure

I am so happy watching the weight fall off

I'm getting sleeved June 7 also. I need to shed 80 lb. I'm 5'7'' and 240.

If all goes as planned, I fly into San Diego, then Tijuana for surgery with Dr Kelly that afternoon. I'm very excited to finally get really started on my weight loss. There's scared too but gotta do it.

      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.
