As a sleeve patient I have a person in my life that assumes I should have lost more weight since my surg date of 4/10. My total weight loss is 35 pounds but I have lost several inches. People just think u wake up from the surgery thin and it does not work that way.

It is so frustrating to hear the nagging comments and jokes. I started out at 261 and I would say losing to 226 is great and without the sleeve that would not be possible. Say a prayer for me!!!

Kim,

Hang in there! That is my worst nightmare. I am going to be sleeved on July 19th and I am sick of the stigma that I am taking the "easy" way out. I don't think there is anything easy about the decision to take your life back into control.

I'll be praying girl!

WOW!! I think you're doing an amazing job!

I'm sorry but either get that person out of your life or tell them to knock it off! If they have nothing good to say, you don't want to hear it!!!

The jokes and comments are passive agressive and those types of people in general, are not good to have around. In all honesty, if it wasn't your surgery, it'd probably be something else.

You have lost over 17lbs each of the last 2 months. That averages out to over 4lbs a week!!! That is AMAZING!!! Tell your "friend" to shut the hell up!

I'm lucky to not have many toxic people in my life, but if I did, I'd tell them honestly to mind their own business.

      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.
