Hi ladies, I'm 53 and scheduled for a sleeve on December 4th.

Hello, I'm 54 and was sleeved on 12/17/14. I'm down from 336 to 297! How 'bout them apples? I can already tell that there's a difference. Clothes are starting to feel loose that once were just plain tight. Energy is slowly increasing. My Water and Protein intake is increasing also! I like what I'm seeing and how I'm feeling. I don't really crave anything per sé, nor do I have insatiable hunger. I put myself on a schedule/routine. I'm making this smart phone earn its darn keep! I would most definitely do this again, but I wish I'd done it years ago! Oh well, moving and looking forward to spending lots more time with my new self. I'm off all my diabetic meds and 4 of my 6 anti hypertensive medications! Loving this! Glad to be a sleeve buddy for anyone else on this fantastic journey!

      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.
