Hi everyone!

I'm in St Louis near 55/270 in Southi County. Would anyone like to up at St Louis bread Company?

I was sleeved on March 19, 2014. Had severe complications after surgery for the first year. It was living hell. But I must say now that I'm on the other side of all of it I'm happy I had the surgery. I went from 330 to 185, so 145 pound weight loss isn't too shabby. I want to get down to 150 to 155 ish before I stop losing. That might be too ambitious but I'm still going to give it a try! My doctor told me as long as I continue to workout at the gym it would be realistic.

Hi, glad you are doing so great... I started at 360 and am now 210. Down 150lbs. Had surgery 7/11/2014. I to would like to get to 150. After being so focused since Jan of 2014 I have found that my diligence is definitely wavering. I have been maintaining this weight for the last 3-4 months. The problem is that even though I haven't met my personal goal I have far exceeded my surgeons and I have achieved many of the things that I wanted that have nothing to do with the scale. So I often waver mentally between feeling like I have failed because I haven't reached my goal and being happy with where I am at... Which is more active, participating in life, happier and let's not forget about the shopping :), which I enjoy. While I haven't been heavy my entire life I haven't been this weight since I had my first son and he's 17.

      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.
