Due to my planar fasiitis, I still have not begun a rigorous exercise regimen, but I am happy with my loss to date. My BMI has gone from 57.1 to 37.8. I am off 12 of my 15 meds that I was on at surgery. I am thrilled with my sleeve!

Krenz what is your routine like? We had similar starting weight but I am a little behind you now at 247.

Mostly Protein, with limited carbs and at least 50oz of Water (I count the Protein shake as part of my daily liquid requirements)

Premier Protein shake every morning, half at 8am and the second at 10am.

lunch is typically 3-4 oz of chicken, turkey, fish or shrimp with a few veggies

Afternoon snack is a low carb Protein Bar

dinner includes more fish, chicken, turkey or maybe steak

Evening snack is a low calorie Greek yogurt with some sugar free strawberry or raspberry jelly

I walk 2-4 miles 3 times a week and occasionally an extra 5-10 miles on the weekends... My weightloss is slowing from 3-4 lbs per week to 2-3 lbs at almost 6 months, so it's time I start hitting the gym. I've got another 37 lbs to my goal weight and I think that's attainable during the next 4 months.

That's about everything I do, except for 1 or 2 drinks a week which stalls my weightloss for the next day or two.

And I think that is why I wasn't loosing more. My Protein Bars had more carbs than I realized. I have switched now. I hope to see a difference. I spend 3-5 days a week in the gym. And focus I. Protein all day. My Water intake has been low but I am working to increase that daily.

      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.
