Hello my fellow sleevers :)

I was sleeved on March 29th. I come from a hispanic culture where we love eating, especially carbs!! My highest weight was 325, date of surgery weight was 304, and my current weight is 269!! I'm 5'9". I would always use large beach towels after showering, but those are BYE-BYE, and will only be used for beach/pool purposes. As of 6/11/2013, I actually use a regular size towel, and it actually closes on me now (whereas a couple months ago, I had to use two!!). I'm happy :)

Woo Hoo! I remember the day when I realized that my towel actually wrapped around all of me, not just my top half, with a big gap where my a$$ is.

      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.
