Great job! I can eat noticeably more now also and my food issues rear their ugly heads every now and again too. Not keeping junk in the house makes a huge difference, otherwise I become powerless and cheez-its start calling my name from the pantry! Been doing the couch to 5K app on my phone. I really like it.

Hello to all my feb sleevers!!! I was sleeved 2-5-13. Hw:314, SW:307 CW:244. I haven't been losing. But I am incorporating workouts now. Mainly plenty of dance 2-3 hours straight with minimum rest. So I guess my body is doing whatever. Starting 30 day squat challenge on the 1st of August. I so want to get out of this long stall, enough ranting just checking in! Way to go everyone because we are all truly on a JOURNEY!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

I think we all have a bit of apprehension, anxiety, but also happiness that this could be life changing. I think we are all doing the right thing first and foremost for our health, secondly for the ease of walking, sitting, thirdly it will he nice to have clothes that fit or are more stylish. I am retiring in June and just want to travel witho+ut the aches and pains of arthritis. Not that it will go away but it should be better with less wait. Being almost 62 I'm hoping my face doesn't sag too much. Lol. Well I'm a bit scared but happy and happy for all of you. Best of Luck. BTW Jan 31 is my surgery. ????

      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.
