I was sleeved Jan 19. I have lost 45 lbs. In the beginning, the weight came off quickly, now the weight loss is much slower. I have noticed that other postings are mentioning their weight loss is slowing down. I am not counting calories, but I am trying to make better choices for my foods. Trying to pick foods that are high in Protein, but I do not always choose the healthiest foods. I need to work on getting more protein and to get my butt moving. If I do this, I am sure the weight would come off quicker. As far as fullness, I do notice when I eat a protein packed meal, I find I am satisfied with my 4 oz. and am not hungry for hours.

Sleeved on Jan 22nd, lost 33lbs post op, 73 lbs total. Only hungry if I'm bored. Starting to finally feel alive again, see surgeon next week and will get cleared to return to Curves. Too cold to walk so need curves to get moving again. Keep taking in my cloths and buying new. Went from size 20 to a 12-14. Still have around 50 lbs to go.

I had mine on jan 3rd. So far down 73 lbs. I have had my blood pressure meds reduced from 20 mg to 5 mg. I go to the gym three nights a week and do about an hour on the treadmill. Currently eating between 600-800 calories a day with between 70-100g of Protein. I realized that making sure I get enough protein and drinking Water all day has helped when the weight loss slows down or stalls.

      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.
