I'm down 14 lbs. I'm guessing I'm in the slow loser category. I am losing inches. I wish I could lose just tad faster but grateful. My hardest is mental. Trying to reassure myself that the sleeve will work and I will not fail.

I was sleeved May 22 and I'm down 28 pounds including my 1 week pre-op. Lost a total of 11 inches too:) I'm excited about that, but I know I won't keep losing that fast. I've just started soft foods and I think it's already slowing because I'm eating real stuff now. But I'm fine with that - I know there will be ups and downs, etc. The first week or so was really hard for me too. And the mental hunger is the worst!

Wow everyone is doing awesome. I assume I'm in the slow loser category too since I'm down 17 lbs. I've already lost 15% of my body fat which they didn't expect until the 6th week out. I'm still super happy with my results.

How much did you guys weigh at surgery?

Start weight 231

Sw 223

I also get worried my sleeve will fail. Even moving from 4 to 8 oz an hour I was like oh geez am I stretching my sleeve too much? Now that I am on soft foods I get even more worried.

I was sleeved on may 21 and it is hard for me to still drink and 8 oz of anything! And if I eat a spoon of something I feel like I just came from a thanksgiving feast! I eat something every two or three days! It's crazy but I feel a lot lighter and less sluggish on an empty day!

I feel better on the emptier days too. Glad I'm not alone here!

It is crazy how everyone is different. I can drink like a champ and eat most things allowed by my diet. Usually I eat between 1/4-1/2 cup per meal.

      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.
