Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm 24 years old. I was sleeved June 2, 2014. So it's been 3 months and I've already lost 76 pounds as of this morning! I just have a lot going on in my life, so it would be great to have someone who is in a similar situation as me to talk to! Just let me know!!

Yay! And I'm so happy that you are so excited about it! I was pretty nervous beforehand, but I'm seriously so happy that I did it!

I've been feeling the same hunger feelings too, but when I go to eat, I take like 3 bites of something and I feel full! I think the amount of weight loss and the speed of weight loss depend on the starting weight. On my surgery day, I weighed 304 and have been losing about 3-4 pounds a week. But keep your head up! You made a great decision in getting the surgery for your health!! And 43 pounds is 43 pounds that are gone! Go for little milestones, that way you don't feel so stressed and upset when it takes so long to lose like 25 pounds! Keep it up!!

Yay! Buddy! That's so exciting about your weight loss! That's really fast too! I had absolutely no idea what to expect going in, so any progress was good progress! But I'm 3 months out and have just now started having hair issues where my hair is coming out faster than normal. I heard about it beforehand, but I thought that would happen almost right away, so when it didn't happen at first, I thought I was one of the lucky ones who it didn't happen to. Oh well! Me and my bottle of Biotin are going to become best friends!! Good luck with your continued weight loss!!!

It's going pretty well. I've just been working a lot so I'm pretty tired. But in exciting weight loss news, I just had to move my size 8 ring to my pointer finger to prevent it from sliding off my middle finger! Before my surgery, that ring would only fit on my ring finger! So my hands have shrunk quite a bit in 3 months!! I think my 100 pound treat to myself is going to be a replacement ring that fits on my ring finger again! Only 22 more pounds till then!

      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.
