Hey, It is ok. Don't mind questions! That is what we are here for. :)

I don't exercise that much! I'm embarrassed to say. I do walk like three to four times a week. I still stay away from carbs as much as possible. I still drink Protein shakes once or twice a day just because I love them. The myoplex lite are awesome from Walmart. I also still eat chicken, tuna, fish, turkey, cheese, yogurt and most of the stuff I had right in the beginning. I try to stay away from slider foods. Sweets is my downfall. I love them but I get kind of queasy if I eat them. So really nothing too extreme for me. :)

Hi,

At 6 months I had lost 84 pounds. The weight starts to slow the further out you get but I wouldn't have EVER been able to lose 118 pounds in a year without the sleeve! :)

      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.
