I guess you could call me an early December sleever. I'm feeling great. Had a brief stall for a for a few days, but the scale has started to move down again and I'm loving it. Can't wait to log my next "official" weight on Monday, as I know I'll be in the 260s.

I was also sleeved on 12/5. Starting weight 242, Surgery weight 222, Current weight 211, height 5'4.

The roughest days were in the hospital just because I couldnt get liquids down but my surgeon suggested warm liquids because some cant tolerate cold as it makes the tummy spasm. Once I tried the warm, I was able to take down 3 ounces at a time. Everything since has been great. I can take pretty big drinks and I eat about 2 ounces every 2 or 3 hours to get my Protein in. With only taking 2 ounces at a time, Ive not gotten sick once. No nausea either. I get in all my fluids by drinking warm Decaf tea all day. It works for me.

I was sleeved dec 4. I started at 236 and now I am 212.5, I am 5'4. My only complaint is getting all my Vitamins in. I've never been a Vitamin person. Going back to work next week a little nervous I do a lot of lifting and pushing :/ have only been sick once think I ate to fast. I talked to my surgeon and learned what my full que is and now I know when to stop :) moving right along

      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.
