I was sleeved on sept 20th. I am down 48 lbs! Very happy and noticed that I am losing weight in places like my elbows and noticed my arms are smaller. I have gotten into a routine of med taking and Protein Drinks. I work in a hospital but the cafeteria usually has good choices for me. I am eating lots of Greek yogurt, chili, lunchmeat, chicken salad. Things are going great. No nausea, and I've only gotten sick one time- because I ate a piece of cake. I wanted it so bad! But now I've learned to just have a bite and I'm good. I admit I'm not exercising enough. But I use the elliptical about three times a week. Very happy I did this!

      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.
