I was 6 months on 6/14 but my appt.was today. Got my bloodwork done last week. My clhoesterol and trigycerites are wayyy down, Everything else is great. My BMI down from 32 to 21. My body fat % down from 52% to 35%. I only had 55 lbs. to lose but it was all in my abdomen in a dangeroius place. i am only 5 lbs. from my doctor's goal for me. He said it is very hard to maintain a steady weight loss when you are this close to goal. He said if I can eat more, I will reach my goal faster. He also said to increase my treadmill interval training he gave me to at least 5 days a week. I made an appt. with the NUT for the 24th to go over my maintenance guidleines! I feel sooo good. Thank you God!

You are amazing!!! Please tell me your story. I see you are close to my age. Did you have a lot of health problems that you decided to have the sleeve? I am having a hard time deciding if this is for me. I have many health problems and at my age it is scary. I will not get better if I don't do something,

      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.
