Ok I started my diet right after Thanksgiving. I was 310lbs. My sleeve surgery was 12/10/12. I have been following the program getting my Vitamins down and more than the 80 grams of Protein and 64oz Water recommended by my doctor. Today I weighed 274lbs with minimal exersize (30 min walks) and wanting toward soft foods early. I have zero appetite but I force myself to consume the needed nourishment. I have no pain at all and im full of energy most of the day... im ready to get after the chiseled body I know I will have. Just playing the waiting game now. I was scared of the things happening to people, but I guess I havebeen blessed. Very thankful for everything yhat has happen to me... I got the nutri bullet and tried a superfood drink. Totally awesome and it blew me away. My fear was gas pain, but thank God I didn't gave that either. I am not posting this to be condescending but I wanted to share my positive experience with whom ever wants positive feed back... I hope everyone's experience goes well and anyone with problems I hope it gets resolved fast and pain free. Love and light to all....

Congratulations!! I was sleeved on Dec 3rd!! I have lost 31 lbs and feel fabulous! I am about to enter the 3rd stage of eating as prescribed by my medical posse - which is the intro to more soft foods, including veggies, fruit and some fish/meats. This is the best decision ever for me. I am most excited about being off all of my diabetes medications and having my blood pressure meds cut down to only 1/2 of a pill a day!

I wish you continued good luck on your journey - and to all the other sleevers as well!

AWESOME! I got sleeved the day after you and have had pretty much the same recovery, WHEW! I think as important as it is to see the risks, the successes are just as important. Best of luck going forward!!

      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.
