Today's my one month surgversary and I'm so happy! Ive lost over 45lbs including the two weeks pre op diet. I did have a stall for ten days , where everyday I thought that's it this surgery isn't going to work for me, I will be the exception to the rule, what have I done to my body ect., then I started losing again and feeling wonderful. I have more energy then I've had in years, my one year old loves that mommy crawls and plays on the floor now. I went to Disney and walked for three days having the time of my life because I didn't have to sit and rest every 45 min. I love not being hungry at all and forgetting to eat. It does feel weird sitting down while everyone else eats, sometimes it's painful to watch them enjoy the foods I know I can't ever eat, but it's fun afterwards when I'm still full of energy and they can hardly move from eating too much! I love that I have almost no clothes now, even my skinny jeans are getting loose and shirts I've never worn look lovely on me now. All these random thoughts and ramblings have one central theme I FREAKIN LOVE MY SLEEVE ! Love you guys too, and thank you for the support :)

I gotta tell you; my new favorite past time is watching people eat (like I used to) and then waiting for the food coma to hit them. I don't want to sound mean about it; but it is very interesting how you just see food totally different now. I'll bet you saved some SERIOUS cash not having to buy food for yourself at Disney; home of the $10 order of fries LOL! Congrats on your 45lb lost :D

That's awesome!!!! My office has been eating junk food all Dec (i was sleeved on the 10th) and It's great not to even WANT to dive mouth first into all the candy, Cookies, fudge, cheesecakes etc that have been delivered. I probably gained 5lbs each Dec just from that stuff....not this year! Thanks SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
