Happy Birthday and Congrats!

I didn't know we had sleeve "birthdays". But hey!! It sounds like a great idea to me!

We must have been sleeved about the same time (April 16 for me) So it's my 3 week birthday today! 3 weeks ago today, I had THE surgery!!

I'm celebrating losing 1/4 of my goal weight loss today!! I'm a lowish BMIer I need to lose 80 pounds, I've lost 22.5 lbs as of this morning!!

I'm going to Celebrate with two different-2 mile fast paced walks with my husband and my dog !!

Happy birthday!

My birthday is next month! So it will be my first birthday with the sleeve :)

No cake here, it's part of learning to Celebrate the events in life with people you love doing things you love and not having the first thought be.., "what kind of food do we want"

Weird concept huh?

Sorry for the double posts!! I'm still getting used to the workings of the VST!

I wanted to report that I met, and surpassed my initial exercise goal for my 3 week "sleeveaniversary". I got in 2, two and a half mile (fast-paced) walks today for a total of approx. 5 miles!!! Yay!!

I read about people having an immediate increase in energy shortly after surgery--but I thought it was an urban legend!

I used to huff and puff going up a flight of stairs!!

Gotta love the endorphins from a good day of exercise!! :)

      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.
