Hi October 2012 Sleevers! I was wondering how everyone is doing - we made it through the Holiday Season (it was a long one, Halloween through New Years' - we had it pretty rough!). Post your stats with an average monthly loss so we can give newbies an idea of what's possible! Happy New Year, guys and gals! Good luck making it to your next mini or final goal!

Today (1/2/13) - 209

Total Loss: 46 lbs. / Monthly average: - 15.3 lbs./month

Oct 25, 2012. SW 300

Today i am 256 = 44 lb loss

I am 11 weeks out = avg 4lbs per week

I lost my data on each weigh in. Had it logged on iPad notes. So i'll have to pull my old paperwork. Anyway...my dr told me avg wt loss for VSG per month is 6-7 lbs. So if you're losing 10 or more per month, that's good. Of xourse depends on age, wt, etc.

I'm 50 yrs old, female. Still cant hold more than 1/4 to 1/3 c at a meal. But i get so hungry within an hour or two after the meal. I dont get in all my fluids either. I love reading about other Oct sleevers!

I purchased Vitamins created for sleeve and bypass patients through "powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com". chewable multi-vit. and chewable cal/mag. supplements. Are they tastey? No, I chew real good then chase with tiny bit of Crystal Light. Between 3 cal/mags, I multi and my B-12, I chew these over morning hours as my snack. I may not get enough solid food every day, but I make sure to always take my vits. and get my Protein and as much Water as possible each day. I wish there were liquid vits. to add to one shake in morming and get it all done. They do get chalky tasting after a while.

      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.
