I was sleeved on 6/24 as well and down 49 lbs. Sounds like we 3 are in the same boat! Cheers to us! I'm at 237 as of yesterday. I still have energy issues & it sucks to eat. I do Protein shakes for Breakfast and a Quest bar for lunch a modified dinner with hubby & son.

Are you taking B 12 shots? Once I started taking those me energy level has skyrocketed

Did you notice the B12 Energy wearing off after a while? I'm back to napping again. I'm taking 2500mcg sublinginal (sp). & have not much energy. :(

I'm 170 super happy but it's a challenge everyday to move around in the afternoon any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Hoping for energy !

      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.
