Good luck Pew! My husband and I were sleeved, him on 12/2/13. He has gone from 320 to 240 and still losing. This was the best decision we made for our health and wish we had found it 20 years ago! We actually did go to seminars 10 years before we decided the sleeve was for us. Your life will change forever. You will learn everything you need to know here, so hang onto this group for support. BTW, I would say the surgery, recovery, and past 6 months were 10 times easier than we expected at our age. Best wishes.

Good luck to you!!!! Keep photos as you go through this process. I noticed someone mentioned the flipagram app. You can compile all your photos as you lose weight. It puts it in video type format and you can add music! It becomes a great testimonial as you go through this journey. It is a great motivator as well. I start my journey on June 17th. As you did I will take a pic on my surgery day. It will be my first of many photos as I begin to shrink. :-)

Since I have had nothing but clear fluids for the past 30 hours, I feel ok, however, I feel asleep at 8 with my CPAP machine on. Woke up, wide awake, thinking my alarm clock was going off. However this was 5 hours early.. I hate infomercials... LOL

      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.
