Wow u look amazing how inspiring! My surgery is dec 6th.....very nervous' date=' second guessing myself sleeve vs bypass. Some "friends/family" think I won't get desired outcome with sleeve.... However I was quite confident until now :-/ any advice???[/quote']

You're going to get out of your sleeve exactly what you put in. Regardless of which you go with, it's still going to come down to your choices after its done. Just do right by you and your sleeve and you will succeed. Hugs! I know it's not an easy choice.

Here are mine, I'm 6 weeks out. I have started having this crazy side effect from surgery the last few weeks and I'm not totally sure how to deal with it.... Lady's are actually approaching me, and we have good conversations! Now if only I could shake the old self confidence issues and man up! Lol

Keep rocking everyone, y'all look great!

It takes time darlin'. You were always more than the sum of your weight, it just takes time for our heads to catch up. And hopefully some lucky lady will be the one to see past everything to what makes you, you. And you can likewise see her for the treasure she is. Just don't go hog wild. Lol.

      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.
