I was sleeved on Feb 12. Things have been pretty smooth. I am down 46 lbs. I catch myself eating faster lately, which scares me. Don't want to go back to old habits. I haven't developed a good exercise plan either.

I had my surgery on Feb 12, which was also my 50th birthday. I'm down 43 from my surgery weight, 103 from when I started the program. I am allowed to eat anything I can tolerate, which is pretty much anything. I just have to be careful, certain things tend to fill me up faster than others. I also catch myself eating too fast sometimes. (One of the hazards of being a teacher - we get used to only having 20 minutes to eat lunch!) I'm very pleased with my progress :)

So excited! Weight loss rate had slowed down and was getting somewhat discouraged even though I knew I shouldn't be. I have been sticking to my diet regimen. Went about 10 days without any loss and all of a sudden I've dropped 4 lbs in 2 days! Started at 261, now am 13 lbs away from being under 200lbs for the first time in 24 years. So excited! Love my sleeve.

This was my date also. I've hit a plateau and I've lost some motivation to exercise. I have to be at work so early that exercising in the morning is impossible unless I want to get up at 3:30 AM. When I get home in the evening I only have about four hours before I need to go to bed or I am tired the next day. I haven't solved this problem yet. Mmmmmm.......

      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.
