Hello there! I am 4 1/2 months post-op and to date I have lost about 86 pounds! Getting the Gastric Sleeve was the best decision I ever made. I documented this journey from days after I made the decision to get the surgery, until just a couple weeks ago! I would love for you to come on an adventure with me as I make my way to Onederland....

Good for you! I'm 5 1/2 months out now, and closing in on Onederland too, but am stuck at 203 as if there's some magnetic force-field keeping me here! It's infuriating!! I'm exercising 6 days a week and eating carefully and no starchy carbs at all, so i know it'll come down eventually. Sigh. It's great to see your pictures mfm116 and look forward to posting my own once I hit 198! (I'd be afraid 199 was a fluke, so my personal "onederland" is 198) and my end-goal is 145. Keep at it folks, and we'll cheer each other to our current finish lines, which will of course only be new starting lines, right!?

Love your blog..I started my journey getting sleeved Dec 2013. I discovered it gets harder to lose those last few pounds..I started at 310 lbs my goal was to lose 150 lbs and I am still working hard..but I am glad I lost 100 lbs and could not have done it without this surgery and my new mentality towards nutrition and health.

      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.
