Hi Virgo63, I am 51 and anticipating gastric sleeve surgery in May sometime. I will find out more next week about the actual date. Wow! down to a size 20 already, that's great! A friend of my said that while she was in the losing phase she would get clothes at Goodwill, and then exchange them for the next size smaller until she reached her stable weight, I thought I would try that too. I can't wait to be able to buy smaller sized garments, I haven't bought clothes in years! Thanks for telling us about the bitchy mood, I already feel like a bitch sometimes now, I hope it doesn't get too bad post-op! The one thing I really want to get someday is a sexy push-up bra! and maybe a little black dress. Hope things continue to go well for you. gosherrie

I am a Goodwill advocate too! I had to get some dresses for a cruise, I don't wear them... I got 3 at Goodwill (color of the week too) so they cost me about $10!!! There was NO way I was going to spend a lot of money for something I will barely wear...

      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.
