Hey Kathy,

I'm a dude ;-) I started Pre Op weight was 436. Because I had severe diabetes, I was prescribed a miracle drug called Victoza. That help me drop 50 pounds. The day of my surgery I was 379. Today I weighed in at 194. Total weight lost is 242. Weight lost since surgery 185. It is hard for me to believe myself. And as I left my doctor's office I realized it has been 9 months to the day. I appreciate all of your responses and kind words. I would love to help out anyone that is pre op or post op that is struggling. I don't have all the answers, it has been a struggle, I've been very lonely. I am grateful for receiving the surgery and the outcome. I really think it is part of God's plan for me. On Monday I was told that I have been hired for a job that is going to change the course of my life. This is miracle #2! I am overwhelmed by everybody's responses!

Thank you and God Bless all of you!

glad you are so happy that the sleeve and your hard work brought you success :)

      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.
