Ok, I was sleeved on Dec. 20th 2012. I've lost 45 lbs. since my first consult in Oct. (19 lbs. pre-op and 26 lbs. post-op) But now I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm thankful for every single lb. lost, but I still have SO far to go!!!

I found it to be overwhelming and kind of a lonely road at first. The good news is that it gets better. The worst is behind you!! You're going to be great.

I jus keep telling myself that I did not get like this over night. And it will take time to get to my goal. Hang in there. My sister took two years to reach her goal but now she is doing great and looks wonderful. Positive thought coming your way.

I was sleeved one month ago and so far I have lost about 20 pounds (started at 262, and I'm 5'9).

Today i saw a pic of myself from last summer and I was soooo big! But I was not at my heaviest yet at that time - I was probably at 253 or so. Soo now in my mind my 20 pound loss has turned in to only 15 pounds from that picture. Anyways at 240 I have so much further to go!! And your mind plays all these head games with you, and I'm so glad I've got you guys to keep me sane. This journey is going to take a long time and I just have to settle in for the ride....

      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.
