@tired_of_being_tired. Thanks for the true honesty. Last time I weighed myself I was 250 and then I got depressed and stopped doing that im in size 18 tight but like u said I refuse to buy bigger clothes so people at work look at me funny when I come in tight clothes but idc I'm tired of shopping in plus size ive been doing it since I was 10 I'm just ready for a change and just by listening to the stories here. I know im in the right direction. Thank u!!

I was sleeved on may 5th 2014, and since the surgery I've lost just under 100 lbs. My recovery was pretty textbook. No issues or complications. My diabetes is gone and my HgA1C level is now 5.5%. My high weight was 335. Started the program at 312lbs.

I'm type 2. WLS won't cure your sister's type from what I hear. I don't know enough about type 1 to offer any advice either way.

      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?

      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.
