HW 325, SW 268, Sleeve 5/13/13, CW 218ish

Started wanting RNY. Sleeve was better option in terms of long-term meds for other conditions that losing weight wasn't going to fix.

I notice that must sleeves are in the high 200's but is there anyone who started higher. My weight day off was 362 give or take a pound....my doctor told me the most common procedure for my weight was the bypass but the long term results are very much the same. Im 5'7" but I definitely strated off way bigger than some posts I see...just curious to know I'd I'm alone lol

Any 300+ sleevers a year out? Just wondering what I'm looking at by the year mark.

Today marks 9 months since my life changed :D

I am 6'3" and was 381 at my heaviest. I was 359 when I started the VSG process back in Feb. I was 354 when I started my 2 week preop shake diet. I was 335 on the day of my surgery and now, 8 days post op I am 322. It is amazing how much better I feel already. My goal is around 220 so about 100 to go.

How's everyone doing?

I finally hit 100 lb loss! It bounced for what seemed forever and then back and forth the sane way!

I stated at 301. Not much more, but figured I'd share to show support.

      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.
