You should follow a woman on Youtube (she's been video-blogging her entire sleeve experience) from 460 pounds on down to (last I looked) just over 200 pounds. (She's pretty tall.)

Her youtube channel and her name are "Less of Sarah". I think her videos will make things pretty real for you. You can find her at:

I have watched her progress on youtube and her journey has been an inspiration. I can't believe my surgery is actually the day after tomorrow.

I hit my first mini goal I set for myself!! So excited. I lost 54 pounds since surgery & 50 was my goal. I was afraid I was losing to slow but my dr is pleased and says I'm doing well. The big plus was all my blood work came back good so I'm getting all the Vitamins & nutrients I need. Somethings have been a struggle but well worth it

      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.
