Hi All,

I am so excited, I am down 70lbs as of today!! I was sleeved in Mexico on 10/09/12, it has been quite the journey so far, it hasnt been the easiest but its great. I am still learning what to eat but at least m stomach lets me know if it doesnt like something! I havent started exercising but joined the Y yesterday so Ill be at it tomorrow.

To all the old sleevers thank you for posting on here, it really motivated me and to the new sleevers, dont think twice about having the surgery, just do it!! Its so wonderful to feel comfortable with your body and not feel like the monster in the room all the time. Being fat is so restricting on life and I am finally starting to enjoy mine!

I am adding some pics, the 1st one is close to my heaviest, the 2nd is about 3 weeks ago, the 3rd is Christmas day.

Life is good :-)

Charlie

      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.
