I'm not in Atlanta but about an hour and a half south. I had my consult last week with Peachtree Bariatrics. I go next week for tests.

Congrats to you, hopefully things will move along pretty quickly.

How's everybody doing? I know I posted somewhere on this thread a few months ago, but it's been quite awhile. I'm in Athens & was sleeved on June 19 by Dr. Macik at Northside. I hit my halfway goal of 70 lbs down yesterday. :D

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum, I had my sleeve done March 2012 I've lost about 96 pounds but would like to lose another 25 to 30 lbs. live in Lawrenceville, GA. I probably should have lost all my weight by now but I haven't been eating right and not exercising. I want to get back to basics but its just a little different once you start going back to your old habits. Anyone live in the Lawrenceville area want to pair up and maybe exercise and just have a friend to talk to?

My husband was sleeved by Dr. Macik 9 weeks ago. He's not on here but if you want to email him, I can see if he'd be cool with that.

how are you doing?

I'm in decent pain. Pain meds don't generally work for me like they do most people. If I'm still, almost no pain. Getting up and down, terrible pain! Buy, I'm unusual, so don't let me scare you! Otherwise, I'm getting fluids in easily and not hungry at all. Down 21 pounds, 15 preop.

      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.
