I'm 5'4", start weight was 225. Had lap band in 2006, lost to 160-170lbs. Went to see surgeon to discuss pain I was having (ended up being all bladder issues). While there we talked about the sleeve since I was stuck with weight loss. Had my revision January of 2010. Got to my goal weight (135-145) within 6 months and have been coasting ever since. I give myself a 10lb swing with my weight before I get serious with cutting out high calorie foods. When I'm on the low end it's really too light for me because my face looks too gaunt. So I actually eat anything I want (sodas, sweets, carbs, etc.) just to maintain. My stomach can hold a lot more food now than a couple of years ago, so I can drag out a meal and look like I'm eating the same amount as others, which is nice during business dinners when you don't want to explain to strangers why you are only eating a small amount.

I feel younger now at 52 than I did all through my 30's and 40's because I'm so much healthier. Had been on meds for depression, high triglycerides and had sleep apnea (used C-PAP machine). Now I'm off all meds and of course no sleep apnea.

Texas T,

You look great! I cant believe your 52yrs young you look maybe 39 yrs at the most. I have the same exact stats as you except I have not made it to goal yet in 6 months like you. I am gonna keep you as my inspiration. Thank you

Thanks for the kind words. My hubby's hair is all gray now (super sexy on him!), and he jokes that people will think he's my Sugar Daddy when we go out. We've been together since we were both 19, so he's glad to have his old girlfriend back :).

      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.
