WOW! What an inspiration you are to have lost all that weight in 2 years. I will be going to your pages and learning more about your journey. I too have a long way to go, over 340 total pounds to lose. I have been that obese child, obese adult, obese bride, obese divorcee and I do not want to be an obese elderly woman. I have a to do list going too and now I know what to call it. Thanks for knowing what to call my to do list and for the paying it forward attitude you have toward childhood obesity. I wish I had someone around me with your determination when I was a child. I am sure you will help many obese children of today.

HW 497 CW 332 still waiting to be approved for the sleeve. Hopefully the surgery will take place in Jan 2016.

That was awesome!!!! I am over 400 lbs. I got the Vertical Sleeve 4 1/2 weeks ago May 28th. You are an inspiration. My doctor felt i needed the Gastric bypass. But due to scar tissu from my c-section. He did the vertical sleeve. I am hoping for great results. HW 482; SW 442; CW 434.

I was a similar start weight and did the rny.. I've lost a total of 254 lbs since .. and 200 since my surgery one year ago tomorrow.. :) Hoping you do wonderfully!!

      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.
