I told my husband I wanted to be sleeved. One year ago I picked up the phone and made my first appointment. I am now 6 months post op, down 86lbs. I started in size 22 pants and 3xl tops. I am now in size 14 pants and almost ready to move to L tops. What a great decision!

Hello Dana,

I'm Dana too (LOL)!!!! Quick question for you being six months out and 86lbs down. Did the weight come off fast or were you losing like 1-2 lbs a week?

You look great I just had to ask.

In the beginning it was faster. One week 3 lbs the next 6. Then 4 then 5 etc. now I am losing 6-9 lbs a months. I turned 40 in April. At that point (4/19) I was down 53lbs. I only had a week with no weight loss once and that was last month. I have had a couple weeks when I lost less that 1.

Yes. I joined a gym on 3/30 and I work out 4 times a week. I do 45 minutes of cardio each time and then I do 15 minutes of weights. I aim to burn a minimum of 600 calories each time. I also keep my diet to 700 calories a day. 800 on gym days.

      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.
