Hello, my name is Denise and I am from Bartlesville, OK.

I was sleeved on 12-11-12 at Bailey Medical in Owasso, OK and my Surgeon was Dr. Katsis, My starting weight was 450 lbs and as of 1-7-13 at my 4 week check up I was at 408 lbs.! YAY!

My experience to date, has been amazing. I have the worlds best family and friends, they are my cheeleaders.

I don't have any complaints, if you read my story, you will see that my health was so bad that this has been a gift of God to me and I am so blessed to have the tool to help me regain my life. So every step of this journey I am going to Celebrate because this journey is a precious gift to me.

Thank you for letting me introduce my self!

God Bless!

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. I was sleeved on Dec. 6 so I'm not too far ahead of you as far as post op. I don't regret any decisions I've made and I know that this was what I needed to save my life and my future with my family. I plan on enjoying my grandchildren and the great grandchildren after that.

      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.
