Hey guys wow i had long time without using this app. I'm so happy im back. I was sleeved on 4/23/2013 i was so depressed i wanted to die because i regretted the surgery. I use to think that I was not going to be able to eat or drink anything ever again but i was wrong. I was 200 pounds in April and now i weight 120 pounds yes 120 i cant belive im a size 1 in jeans and a xs in shirts it's unbelievable. 8 months ago i was so depressed and now I'm the happiest women alive. I give thanks to god for helping make this decision it was hard cause the first 2 months after the surgery i was really bad i got admitted like 3 times to the hospital and i had my gallbladder taken out. But i forgot everything already im so happy. Thanks to god and my doctor in mount sinai hospital in New York. I feel so happy and so healthy now i can do whatever I want with my two beautiful daughters. I love them thank you god for everything. Also i wanna give thanks to this forum because you guys helped me a lot the first few months. I am so proud of myself.

      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.
