I'm from Cornwall. Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys ... Work has been crazy lately. I went to high school in Rockland county . Only 5ish days left until I am sleeved. Totally can't wait... As of today I am now 18 lbs from July not much but hoping to lose 2 more before surgery.

I didn't really have to lose weight pre-op until it was discovered I gained so much weight in between visits with him. I had to work my butt off to get to at least 2 pounds less than I was at my first appointment (16 lbs all together). I DID IT! Today I am on Clear liquids. I go in for surgery at 7:30 in the morning.

How are you feeling? Is it what you expected? Are you in a lot of pain? How are you feeling emotionally?

I had band to sleeve revision on November 6 and the difference between the 2 is just mind blowing to me. THIS level of restriction is what I always was looking for in my band but NEVER had. I was 205 on the day of surgery and as of today am down to 181. I am more than happy with my decision and my results

      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.
