Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!!

Trying on clothes is great!!

Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the costco samples!!

No more knee pain !!

No more shortness of breath!!

These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!!

      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.
