I have been doing good. Progress has been pretty steady. Surgery was 3 months ago' date=' I'm down 30 lbs since. 50 lbs total. I think the only struggle I have now is taking my Vitamins. I keep them on my desk at work and still forget to take them! LOL! I have the memory of an old lady!

How have you been doing???[/quote']

I've been doing good...I think I have one of those "sleeve of steel" I can tolerate anything. I love icy cold drinks, hot tea and spicy stuff. The problem I'm having is slowing down...I tend to eat way too fast and that's when I get in trouble. I'm having problems with my multi and Calcium pills, they're way to big and I hate the after taste, so for now I'm taking calcium chewy bites and I need to find an alternative to my multi. My tummy just don't like them lol. I've lost a total of 66lbs (35 preop & 31 post-op). I never know how I'm going to feel the next day which is strange, but I guess this too shall pass. I'm slowly gaining my energy back as the days go by. I love my sleeve except for the days where I just want to bury my face in Chinese food LOL.

Ha!!! I do miss some pig out sessions every now and then!!! ;) I have been taking Centrum chewables (not gummies, these are more like a clingstone vitamin). Orange flavor, not too bad. But I also was told if I take those that I need to add in selenium. I don't... But I probably should look into it. Same with my calcium a, I take a chewable wafer... Definitely not my favorite... But it gets the job done.

I'm with you with the sleeve of steel! I haven't found much that doesn't sit well with me. However, I have found that I'm stuffed right away, then hungry again within the hour. Perhaps I'm eating too fast, not sure.

Started my 2 week preop diet today. Trying a bunch of different Protein supplements. I know my tastes might change postop but I want to have something on hand for my first week.

Had 2 Protein Drinks so far this morning and I'm hungry! But I think it's probably more head hunger than body hunger.

Looking forward to my salad and salmon for lunch!!

      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.
