<p>Hi,</p> <p> </p> <p>Congrats on your success!!! My surgery is in 30 days. May I ask how did you decide which sleeve procedure to go with vertical sleeve vs Plication sleeve. do you have any advice on pre & post surgery tips. Thanks.</p>

Hey! Thank u! To be honest with you I didn't know about the plication sleeve until u just mentioned it. I wasn't given an option, it must be new? I'm not sure myself. But I got done the vertical sleeve and it's worked perfect for me! No complications and I didn't even need pain meds. Ofcourse everyone is different but keep optimistic and everything will be ok, follow instructions as your doc tells u to the T it's key point in this surgery. One thing enjoy very step of the way and don't get discouraged with the stalls everyone has them I've had two long ones but I think it's part of the process while your body readjusts to the new weight loss. Pre-op the first days will be challenging than u get used to it. My doc gave me the option to eat one salad a day the rest I had to have shakes. So I chose to have the salad with grilled chicken at night before 7 and go to sleep early since I was a night eater. Post-op the only advise is stay away from carbs, rice, bread, Pasta and all that junk food as much as u can. I haven't had any since my pre-op diet I think that's like 5 months now. I wish u all the best if u have any questions u could always message me. Don't doubt yourself or your sleeve it does work!! It's not another diet it's a lifestyle and I love it!!

Hi guys thank u so much!! I couldn't believe it myself yesterday when I saw the scale. I try not to weight myself as much so I hadn't went to the scale in weeks and I thought I was still in a stall but to my surprise boom I'm 160. My goal weight is 145 but my surgeon will like for me to go down to 125-130.. I don't think I want to be that skinny, I want to be healthy.

Very thankful to all you guys because this website was a very big part of my source and I would always come here and look at pics to encourage me to finish the process.. Hope I inspire someone like all u guys did with me!

      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.
