Looks like you are doing great! Hope that I can do as well when the time comes! I am having the surgery on November 19th. My daughter is graduating high school in May & I would love to be able to take pictures with her and not be embarrased. <_< You really are an inspiration to all of us in pre-op land!

I have not lost weight for the last 2 days....and though I lost 26lbs in the 14 days post surgery, I am hoping that weight loss will pick back up...and last. I had an egg today and can't help but wonder if eating actual food is going to throw me off...although I don't really want to eat that much....the commercials on tv make me crave...and I do get actual hunger...that sometimes a sip of Water gets rid of. Sometimes I think it's the gas that makes me feel hungry. So, has it been difficult for you to get that weight off? I get about 400 calories in, and most of my minimum Protein in.

DVR for taping shows will help that commercial thing. I haven't watched commercials in a long time.. You seem like you are doing great!

Actually, I found that once I started eating real food, the weight loss increased a little. I would stall on weight when I wasn't getting my Water and Protein in. Anyways, the cravings I used to have are GONE! I was a chocolate addict. I haven't touched it in 3 months and have no urge to. I was also addicted to pop. That craving is gone as well.

I lost 2 more pounds this morning! Sweet! That's 48 lbs down total, and 28 down since the surgery.

I would advise everyone who is getting the sleeve to expect the worst as far as pain goes.....because if you expect hell, and get something better, it will be a gift and you won't be blindsided with pain that makes you think you're dying...as was my case.

      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.
