My surgery was March 6th. Starting weight was 220. Surgery date was 207. Today is 175. No issues with Water and Protein. Usually get about 80 oz of liquids not including my shake in the morning. Protein is 70-80 grams.

I feel great and the inches are melting off. Don't lose as fast as some but I am thrilled. It's still over 3 pounds per week that will never come back.

I had a very easy time with surgery and recovery so I have been one of the lucky ones in that way. I feel like my life is back to normal but in a healthy way. I feel in control, and feel healthy inside and out!

I love my sleeve and am sure this was the best step I could have taken for my health!

I was sleeved on March 7th and have lost 40 pounds so far. No one had noticed yet' date=' or at least they hadn't said anything to me until yesterday. I decided to try on an old dress that I wore 8 years ago when I was a whole lot thinner. It fit so I wore it to church. You should have seen people's eye bug out when they saw me. Made my whole day![/quote']

Good for you Skinnyginny. :)

I was sleeved 3/19. I am so happy with my sleeve! I am having a bit if trouble with Water and vitamins' date=' it sounds as though I am not the only one. Before surgery I was able to drink 3 liters of Water a day with no problem, but now I am good if I get in 48-50. Of course I would like to have lost more by now, but it is coming off. 20+ inches overall.

It is a wonderful feeling to be satisified with such a small amount of food. We have taken 5 small trips in the past 2 months and eating out is so easy! Just ask the waiter for exactly what you want even off menu and there are no questions! Went to a BBQ joint with a group of people and I ordered 4 ounces of BBQ chicken and cucumbers, the waitress just said OK!

Loving life![/quote']

My experience has been similiar, vowed I would not change my social life, eating out has been easy. We're much more self consious about it then others are.

I was sleeved on March 11 & reached my first big goal - 50 pounds down!! It's hard to see results when looking in the mirror every day' date=' but when I compared my "before surgery picture" to this one I took this past weekend, I could really see myself shrinking! I don't know about you guys, but I'm sooooo glad I made the decision to have surgery![/quote']

You look fantastic, my surgery was March 18th and I'm at a stall at 40 pounds down, hoping to join the fifty club soon.

Continued success to you.

I was sleeved on 3/6 and I'm down 51lbs. I'm very proud of my weight loss but I still have some work to do. I'm in no pain at all, but I struggle with exercising. I haven't done any :( , cause I'm sooo lazy. I also struggle with taking all my Vitamins. I need to get on board because I don't want to regain the weight and I want to be healthy. I don't regret my decision to have the surgery. In fact, I wish I would have done it years ago! :)

      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.
