Ahh yes the Minnesota section. Hello everyone. I'm from the northwest suburbs and was at Unity Hospital with Dr. Baker for my sleeve on August 29th. Not quite ready for the cold weather as I have been freezing lately (due to weight lost, so not a bad thing) Just going to have to layer up. Definitely looking like the cold weather is here.

I went to Unity too, but I had Dr. July. My surgery was Sept 16th. All is going well thus far. How is it going for you?

Stick some before pictures where you will see them...on the fridge, in your desk drawer, on the car visor. I just went to the gym today for the first time in 3 weeks. I've had a lot of stuff going on, but I could've/should've made a better effort. This week is my 6 month mark & I made a new side by side comparison pic over the weekend. Seeing that before once again was VERY motivating!

try dvd Zumba at home. you are in a rut, don't fall off the cliff, happens, it the holiday season, even happy people get depressed around the holidays, maybe you could do a random act of kindness for someone, then do one for yourself, and go to the gym. it is usually hi calorie snacking that contributes to low to no weight loss. plan ahead, have Snacks with you. set a goal, get there and let that be it's own reward. good luck

      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.
