I lost over 250 lbs on this one diet I went to at a weight loss clinic, I was starved all the time, went there for about 2 yrs, but it was a battle of my hunger, even tho I cheated a lot I lost weight but as soon as I quit using their product the weight went on just as fast if not more, I'm committed to this sleeve to help me on my Portion Control. My liver is ok as far as size, I just have a two day clear liquid diet before surgery, I know when the Doctor examine me his said my liver was ok as far in size, I eat lean meats, love fish but I eat lots and my weakness is ice cream , mash potatoes , and mustard potato salad and love any kind of cheese, just portion control I have a problem with. But congratulations on the 36 lbs of weight loss, are you ok with the diet your on now? Not hungry , satisfy when you eat? If it was me and I answered yes I would just stick to the diet your on and forget surgery but if not go with the surgery, I know I can't and it not being lazy ether. Good luck on what ever you decide.

      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.
