I figure I should own at least one pair of jeans just in case. Well this means that soon I will have to sell all my shirts they are 4x and 3x button short sleeve collar shirts all different patterns for men even got Hawaiian floral shirts short sleeve of course a lot of summer shirts.

Awesome! I'm with you, all my pants fit like MC Hammer pants. And my belts on the last hole before I have to start cutting new ones.

It's a good problem to have!

Yep that is a good problem to have! I have gone from a size 56 when I was at my biggest years ago to a 36. I was in a 48 at the time of my surgery. I mean that is just crazy so I know how you feel! Congrats to you..

Congrats to you all! It means so much to us pre-sleeves who need to stay focused on the results. I just finished reading how hard the preop diet is. It can trick my mind into thinking I can't do this. But so many of you have been so successful. I just hope I can do it too!

How many people attend Overeaters Anonymous. Im thinking of attending the meetings. Can i get some feedback or suggestions

I used to go to Overeaters Anonymous and found it very helpful. I haven't been to a meeting in years and certainly not since my sleeve surgery, but it has been on my mind lately. Let me know if you find a group that you like.

Jayson, I recently started going to OA. I'm not religious, so that worried me, but I am finding it extremely helpful. I'd recommend checking it out. If it isn't for you you've only lost an hour of time.

Now that I increased my food amount to 4 ounces up from 2 ounces per the nutritionist. So I guess my weight loss will be slower now. I have to exercise more now.

Wow! That's awesome! I had the lapband and it slipped up my esophagus, last month. They've removed all the liquid and I'm now waiting approval to have it removed and to get the sleeve. I hope I get it soon. I'm gaining wait already, I think the sleeve will be a better choice. I had lost well with the band... But the slippage was scary! :(

      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.
