Hi I am a 57 years young guy that wanted to stay that way. I gound myself one day three years back at 360 lbs I was shocked I had been laid up for over ten weeks from a leg surgery much better now. I immediately gave up all soda and really nothing else, in 4 months with the help of being active I dropped to 320. Two years ago I met the love of my life and she has motivated my to want to be healthier and to be able to do the things I used to and have never done on our upcoming honeymoon in Nov. We joined weight watchers together we started going to gyms, even zumba classes they fun. I lost but could not keep it off my leg hampered my activities. So Feb of this year to keep my new years resolution. I sought out the help of a Bariatric Surgeon. I committed to the Sleeve program and could not be happier. On March 5th I had the procedure done and am happy to say I am now down 55 lbs . I have not been under 300 in over 6 years. Its amazing feeling . Hope to gèt to know you all well thank you!

Congrats. Your story is somewhat similar to mine. I was 320 and joined WW. I learned to love working out. I was 50 and running 5 mikes, biking 50 plus, lifting weights etc. I got down to 185 where I stalled. then I had a major hip injury and surgery. Working out was not an option. Slowly I gained 50 pounds back and it has been a yo yo ( with more yo than yo) for 2 years. I recently reinjured my hip simply due to the weight gain. I am now up to 280 and it's feels worse than the 330 ever did! That was the last straw. I am in the early stages...not even had first appointment. But I know how good if can be..and I am determined to get back there.

      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.
