You'll get there, it may take some time...but the great thing about the sleeve is that you know that sooner or later you will reach your goal!

Congrats on your weight loss. Don't you love the sleeve?

I do love it. However lately I've been craving Doritos. And then my sleeve reminds me I could only have a couple.

See i find things like chips and popcorn i could eat a ton of. I ate almost a whole bag of popcorn before i realized i cant have that in the house anymore lol when we chew it down its almost to nothing so i find those things i can eat a ton more of compared to meat and veggies etc

So needless to say i try to stay away from that stuff.

sweet cravings are back

I get a little more nosh-y than normal during my TOM. I'm trying to eat a Cutie when I want a sweet. Although, I have had chocolate. And I'm okay with that. One or two pieces is awesome and I don't have to eat them all. Like I said, right before my TOM, I get noshy. I found myself in the kitchen last night because I "wanted something". I wasn't hungry at all. I found myself in there looking about and said to myself, stop and see if you're hungry. I did and I wasn't. So got a little bit of my Trop 50 OJ and moved on.

I am so grateful that the sleeve is letting me pause and reevaluate what I'm eating or what I'm looking to eat. That would not ever have happened before. Amazing.

OH! and I have come to discover that if I have had a lower Protein day, I find myself grazing around the kitchen. Gotta get that protein in to protect myself from evening noshiness.

Sadly, it's Hair loss time for me.... Can't stand it.

I'm almost 6 mo this out. I eat lots of Protein and take all the Vitamins. I guess there is nothing to so but endure it. I read that it's due to just loosing weight. The drop in nutrition / calories is what starts the process.

I will see my Doct later this month an will ask about how many calories we should be eating to continue weight loss but minimize loss of nutrition.

Just wanted to know if any of you have had this discussion with your surgeon or NUT???

I currently eat about 800 cal a day.

      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.
