Nothing to be jealous of. I've lost 7.4 since the 11th. I feel great that I've lost that much! We all lose at different speeds, and Water weight also has something to do with it. 8 lbs is awesome! Keep up the good....no GREAT work!

I had my echo done and all seems to be good with my heart structure. I will retest next week for improvement of my anemia. Hopefully all will be good so that I can have my clearance. Although I am getting a little nervous.

Today is day 5 of 13 of my pre op diet...I have never reached the "not hungry" state and each evening the hunger is intense. But I'm doing it (never thought I'd be successful!). And I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.... Down 4 pounds so far. I hope that number rises to at least 10 by June 25th!

Great job so far!!! I'm really feeling depressed. I'm on day 7 of pre-op (june 24th is my date!), started my cycle Thursday & want to eat everything! I'm on a low carb diet & nothing is satisfying me. Today I had a Protein Shake for breakfast.then went to Hooters for fathers day and ate 10, Yes 10 naked wings with blue cheese! It's 8 hours later and I know I need to eat cuz Iam dying of NOOO ENERGY! I NEED SOME SUPPORT. I'M scared to get onthe scale now. Anyone out there having a rough time? Maybe I should just do liquids the rest of the week? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Down 10 since sleeved on the 11th! I think I am one of the lucky ones. I am not having any major problems getting the liquids down. I do have some upper chest/shoulder pain, but I also had a haital hernia. Not sure if the pain is from that or the sleeve. I am looking forward to some 'real' food soon. I have also gained most of my energy. Wishing everyone a speedy and easy recovery. Good luck to those being sleeved this week.

I have a question for everyone. My surgery is scheduled for the 25th. I know I will need to be walking and doing some type of exercise after getting home but its going to be hot outside and I was told not to get the incision sites sweaty due to infection..etc. So my question is, what is everyone doing for exercise?

Gotta make it a good one!

Ok.., everybody settle down and take a deep breath.... All together... Ok...

Glad to hear those of you are done and doing well... Sorry to hear some of you are having post surgical sickness.... Remember this is not a race but a journey... All these things are temporary and will and so get better... I've been in contact with my post surgical friends from march and April.. They have all been here and say it gets better.. Just having to take it one day at a time...

To all my pre surgical peeps.. Deep breath: we can do this! For me Wednesday is the day my life will change forever... I'm ready for the change... It's been a long time coming...

To all the newest members of our group: WELCOME to the best decision you've ever made... Stay focused, stay positive...remember not all situations are the same.

Keep us posted for after progress...

      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.
