I was sleeved June 18, 2012, my pre op weight was 334.9 and my current weight is 199, that's 135.9 lbs lost! My daughter watched me lose and got so depressed that I was truly worried about her, her insurance would not pay for the surgery, she fought them for a year and finally last November she was sleeved, her insurance does not pay for any weight loss surgery so after a year long fight a with help from our great family Dr, her insurance is using her case as a guinea pig to see if it will be worth paying for this surgery for others! She is doing great, she's down 70 lbs! Here are our before and after photos (she's not done)

Thanks Cherbear33, it has been an amazing journey and I'm so glad that I finally got to watch my daughter go through all of the emotions that come with the weight just falling off! We are both way happier and healthier than we have been in a long time!

      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.
