I must say that for the first time in 5 years, I put on a size 16 and they fit!!! I didn't have to lay on the floor, suck it in and pray. They just fit. It is the best feeling ever! I am almost 7 weeks out, down 35 pounds and 9 pounds away from one-derland! If you told me at Christmas that I would be here before the 4th of July, I would have laughed at you. Just a great feeling. This surgery is the best thing I could have ever done for myself!!! So here's hope for all of you just starting, it can be amazing if you just let it!!! Waahhoooo!

I too am in a 16, just over six weeks out, down 34 (not 35) pounds and 9 pounds away from one-derland! What I love is that there is an excellent chance I'll never see this weight again. Good luck on the rest of your journey and congratulations to those who have made this important decision and are still waiting to be sleeved! Yes, it is the best thing!

      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.
