From this months news letter.... :)

Member Spotlight: fyre_storm!

We’re pleased to have the honor of featuring a man in this month’s spotlight - if you haven’t already met him, now’s your chance to meet fyre_storm! He’s a 27-year-old FedEx worker from Fullerton, California. At a height of 5 feet 6 inches and a weight of 388 pounds, fyre_storm didn’t have any health problems – yet! But he knew they were coming because he saw his aunt suffer from obesity-related health conditions before passing away. So, even though he didn’t have “high anything,” as he puts it, fyre_storm decided to get the sleeve, and his surgery was in September of last year. He lost 72 pounds in three months, and so far has lost a total of 93 pounds! It hasn’t been easy for him – fyre_storm describes his journey as a roller coaster! The VerticalSleeveTalk.com community has helped him through many panicked occasions! Members have told him that whatever he’s going through will pass. Each time, they’ve been right – his VSG trouble has gone away. Fyre_storm wants everyone who gets picked on for obesity or is horrified at themselves to know that the sleeve was worth it to him. Each pound he lost has been painful, but he wouldn’t go back to his former self. Thanks, fyre_storm, for being in our Member Spotlight and for being a great community member!

      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.
