Hi how r u? When was ur sleeve done? How is ur progress?

I'm doing great! My surgery was on 9/10 with Dr. David Kim. I've lost a total of 35 pounds (9 of which were lost on the 2-week pre-op diet). I hit a stall around week 3 but now I'm steadily losing again.

I haven't done much exercise yet, other than walking maybe 3 days/week for 40 minutes or so. I'm trying to get into the habit now of walking twice a day for 20 minutes each time while I'm at work - get that out of the way the easy way :) Now that I've been cleared to exercise, I'm going to try to find a gym that I won't mind walking into. Not sure I can face something like a 24 Hour or Lifetime yet........

How about you?

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately but I read all post and everyone seems to be doing great...

Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13! ;)

I am loving my new look and life.

I would love to find a work out partner in the Fort Worth area if anyone is interested. I joined Planet Fitness in north side Fort Worth ($10 a month) and think I would have better motivation if I had a friend with the same goals as me to work out with. Call me if interested 817-223-6241.

      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.
