Hello Im a young 54, i had the sleeve done 6/19/13, last time i weighed myself I lost 78 lbs feeling pretty good. So far i had two dumpings once when I ate a little too much watermelon and another time i had some food that had sugar in it unknowing, hopefully it won't happen no more, I eat about a 1/2 cup at each meal time. Best thing i feel full when I eat slow, but thats hard to do at times, but Im trying. Been out walking at a park with nice paved trails just wish someone out there lived close by and needed a walking partner, I live near Scottsburg Indiana. Good luck to everyone on there venture in weight loss.

If you want to know just ask, I was sleeved 6/19/13 the first 3 wks when healing was going on was hard to eat at first, specially the next day after surgery and being on mushy foods was hard but it beats the liquids diet, you will go through some emotional changes but it gets much much better; don't doubt yourself one bit and stick to what your goals are. Don't listen to other ones that says diet soda is fine, run from those people... Good luck to you and Jan/ Feb will be here soon enough. Hang in there

      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.
