So, I think this takes an entire overhaul of your lifestyle.

That doesn't happen overnight and there is always some backsliding, tripping up and do overs. Even so, it is the keeping trying, keeping asking for help and support and being self reflective enough to recognize when you are drifting back to old, bad patterns.... seems to me you are doing that.

I have lost weight great with the sleeve, but there were a couple of months where my weight loss was only like 5-6 pounds. I realized I was heading for being one of those people who did "pretty good" but didn't really change. I picked myself up and have been kicking butt since about the Oct timeframe. I now truly believe I will make goal and I think anybody can do the same thing.

The thing that i keep reminding myself is that even when I weighed 300# I never gave up - I am bringing that same tenacity for keeping and improving my new fit body!

Thanks Quita for posting this thread. I haven't had my surgery yet (hoping for Feb/March), but it helps me see that the surgery isn't a quick fix for my weight problem. I have to make a lifestyle change. I've been seeing my physician the last few months for the insurance required diet and I haven't really been taking it serious. I just keep thinking that once I get the sleeve i'll be forced to eat smaller amounts and currently I'm not being forced to do it; therefore, I haven't lost any weight...I've actually gained a few over the holidays. I need to change my way of thinking. I'm going to sit down tonight and write all the reasons that I need/want the WLS and then I'm going to list all the habits and food that I need to "divorce". Maybe I should try a food funeral likes others have joked about. This June will be 3 years since I've had a soda. Not sure where that control comes from, but I know that I can change my lifestyle if I put my mind to it. I just need a jump start...I guess. Or a kick in the butt. Good luck Quita and take care!

      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.
