Well today i hit 6 mths of being sleeved. Yes i had complications upto about 4 mths, still have reflux a couple of days out of the week and would love to just be able to eat a little more.... and at a normal pace as you all well know but i think that will come in time :) i have lost 88 lbs which i would never have been able to do by myself so for that i am thankful. I do have 1 question, i find myself still feeling tired, anyone else 6 mths out??? Each day it does get better, sometimes the regret of what did does come back but life goes on and we must just enjoy it :)

Congrats on your progress! I sure hope you get to feeling you can change your member name someday ;) With complications, your body has really been hit hard. May take a little longer to recoup. Are you eating/snacking/drinking enough? I found early on that I had a lot more energy if I added some carbs to my Protein smoothies and snack list. I ate more carby Proteins like Beans, blended bananas or peaches or berries and skim milk with my Protein Drink, and added oatmeal to my Greek yogurt, etc. Also make sure you are taking your Vitamins, including a separate D3 and sublingual (or injectable) B12. Does your doc do 6 month bloodwork to check Iron and Vitamin levels? These things could definitely make you tired if low.

      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.
