You did awesome. How hard was it?

It was hard at the beginning, It takes a lot of planning and effort to get in your Protein and fluids but after I found Premier shakes at Sam's club I had a much easier time. I walk and lift light weights 4-6 days a week. But overall it's great, I have rarely been sick, and the recovery from surgery was not bad at all. As a person who has lost large amounts of weight in the past only to gain it all back plus some, I love the sleeve, it just gives me control and peace of mind that I can do this! Thanks for all the sweet comments!

Thanks again for all the sweet comments, it really means a lot! If anyone reading this is still on the fence about to have surgery or not, I would do it and don't look back! It is not always an easy road but the results are worth it! Here is one more photo! Again I appreciate all the support and information I have gotten from all of you on this journey!

Well I can eat just about anything without getting sick however I try to stay with Protein first then salad of veggies, I also have at least I shake a day if not two, I drink lots of coffee and unsweetened tea. I really would like to lose 20-30 more lbs so I can't help with maintaining yet.

Also my sleeve is still very restrictive so as I mentioned before I try to eat Protein first, I also avoid sugar & carbs but I can still only eat very small amount at a time.

      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.
