4 weeks out today and feeling great! :) A rough first week, but after that it has been an overall good process :)

Good luck, your surgery date will creep up on you much faster than you think!!!

Curious how much weight every one has lost this month? I lost 17 lbs. I had lost 20 but 3 lbs came back the beginning of week three and now I am stuck at the same weight week 3 and 4.

I started yesterday trying to eat every three hours to get more in and to keep my metabolism up. Focusing on the Protein and fluids. I did see the scal move from 261 to 260.4 so maybe that is going to help me get going again.

I used Dr. Borland for my sleeve on 12/5/12. I absolutely love my sleeve and Dr. Borland. I have had no problems, minimal discomfort and at 4 weeks out I have lost 22 pounds.

I am now on regular food (of course much smaller portions). Last night for supper I had pan seared catfish, topped with pan seared shrimp along with steamed squash and zucchini. Yum!

      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.
