My skin is holding up pretty good. Unfortunately the place I need to lose the most weight in, is my arms. And they were pretty flabby before weight loss. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, trying to do good arm exercises.

And a huge thank you, too everyone for all the sweet comments. It's been a long time since I have felt beautiful, and then to hear it from anyone... Especially people who don't have to say it, it is very uplifting. I pray that all of you are doing great. If you're on the fence about surgery, stop wasting good time being miserable. This is an amazing life choice.

And if you are already on your sleeve journey, I hope we all have wonderful success! It's like we get a second chance to do it right! I'm not messing up this time!

I can't believe it. Every day I'm sure I'm just going to stop losing. And then I lose 5 more pounds that week. This is the BEST decision I have ever made (with the exception of marrying my husband). I know that it will be a life long journey' date=' and I couldn't be happier with it. My husband is now thinking of getting the surgery, after seeing my success. Which is so surprising, because he was against me having it in the beginning. But he came around, and has been my biggest fan and support.

highest weight was 314

Day of surgery I weighed 308

TODAY... 231!!

It seems surreal.[/quote']

You are gorgeous!! Wtg!!

      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.
