Sleeved on March 11. 243 at surgery and now 176. 5' tall - went from size 22 pants to 14/16 and in an XL top. I had no complications other than soreness for a couple of days. The downside- none. I am now finding I can eat more and bread goes down pretty easily so I am cutting it now before it gets out of hand. I am 67 and would do it again. Many say their only regret is that they didn't do it sooner- for me this was the right time so I have no regrets at all.

have yall started shopping yet?

I tried going to thrift stores but found it tedious- the one near me sorts by color not size so it takes a while to find things. I am now shopping for fall/winter. I can get into 14's but I don't want to buy too much- I am hoping to go down a couple more sizes. I am hoping it doesn't get cold soon- I don't want to buy a coat until I am at goal. It is fun though! I still start in the Woman's section and laugh at myself as I move to Misses. Juniors? Probably not but I would be ecstatic if I could fit into Petites. I am 5' tall, but not sure my body is going to get that small.

      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.
