Recommended Posts

Just having a quick celebration. I started this journey at 244 pounds. I was sleeved on May 21st. I have lost 46 lbs. I am off all my blood pressure meds and have not had a panic attack since the surgery. Today I weighed in at 198!!! I haven't been under 200 lbs. in 13 years!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God for the sleeve.

Congratulations! Very encouraging. I have close to the same start weight (246) and would LOVE to be below 200 by mid-October. Its been 8 years since I've seen the 100s. Looking forward to it.

Thank you everyone. I danced a little jig, took a pic with my camera phone, and sent it to all my friends and family. This surgery has been life changing and all of your support and encouragement has been a huge part of that.

      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.
