Hello everyone. It has been a while. I was sleeved on 8/13/2013 and my starting weight was 243. Today I weigh 209. I have lost a total of 34lbs as of today. I am pretty happy with my progress so far. I am having a terribly hard time getting my Fluid and Proteins in but I am getting by. My best friend who is now married to my brother so I guess she is my sister-in-law now (I got them two together lol) just had their baby friday 10/11/13!! So incredibly proud and tired. Lol we all live together so I am helping with my nephew a lot so my nutrition is going down the drain. I have lost 5lbs since he was born. Lol

Congrats! I was sleeved the same day, close to the same weight and have lost 27... seems a bit slow to me. Can you tell me what you try to keep your numbers at: Cals per day? Do you count carbs? Do you exercise? Im just trying to figure out how to make it move a little faster. Thanks!

I don't count calories or carbs or anything. I just try to eat meat to have Protein but I just really don't eat much of anything. I was walking everyday and started doing push ups and sit ups. I have found I do better if I eat mostly meat throughout the day. And I really only drink Water or apple juice. I am not really doing anything else though. I ned to but with a new baby it is very hard.

I try to focus on Protein - beef chicken eggs cottage cheese. And I've been walking although not religiously... I guess Im just destined to be slow! :)

I think slow is good though. Maybe our skin will be able to keep up with out weight loss! :) slow and steady wins the race. As long as we are losing we are good.

      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.
