1 year ago today I had my vertical sleeve surgery! What a great year it has been! I've lost 162 pounds and went 14 pounds below my goal weight! I feel like a new person.

I eat about 800 calories a day. It's really all I can handle or want.

Congrats!!! You give me hope that I can reach my goal! I started out a little heavier than you, I'm down about 105 pounds but the scale has STOPPED moving. I am 5 months out and frustrated (more with myself). I haven't been doing the things that I know I should consistently lately but am back on track as of this week. Seeing that you have made your goal in a year gives me hope that I can at least come close before my year is up! Thanks for sharing!!!

      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.
