Hi CantBelieve_IdidIit!

Dont really know where to start, but I was always a big kid.

Used to play rugby and was a school swimmer (high school) was always big and muscular, till I went to the Army.

I had an operation on both my feet, due to injury, thus unable to walk for almost 8 mths in 2003.

Since den I've just been eating and eating and eating.

No exercise.... loads of alcohol and serious binge eating especially at night after 11pm.

I've put on heaps of weight and decided to have a VST this year because I felt I couldnt keep to dieting and exercise. And the VST went well on the 1st May 2012.

Since then I've lost alot of weight and am continuing to lose even more.

I've noticed my shoulders getting smaller... kinda like an "A" body shape, and decided to head to the gym last night, hoping to bulk up my shoulders before even more weight loss occurs.

I get sleeved in a week and my first trip will be to Singapore. What Hawker food could you eat 6 weeks out? I am thinking grilled stingray or Chili Crab would go down easy.

after 6 weeks ....

almost everything... just in very very very tiny portions and in a very very long time (chewing).

Spicy food is ok.... depends on how bad your acid reflux is ...

I respond quite well to spicy food ... but have heard from others who just cant take it.

Welcome to our little island :)

Wishing you a good one :)

      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.
