Hello all,

Well, It has been a little over 8 months since surgery - 4/24/12. I am down 116lb. The weight loss has slowed, but not as much as I thought after updating my signature. I only have 21lb left to my original goal. I am beyond happy with my sleeve and have o issues with tolerating anything. Sometimes I wish I had some intolerances like to sugars. I am keeping pretty good with my diet, though not perfect. My biggest problem is exercise. I have not been able to get out and get to it. I am trying to jog, but it is slow going. I can jog about 1/2 of my 2 mile walk in intervals. I am happy with that, just not the frequency that I can get out to do it. I think I would be loosing faster if I could exercise more. I am delighted with the way I look in clothes, not so much without them. I just wish my belly would go away!

      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.
