Hi everyone just a little update and some other random stuff. just want to start by saying i am about 3 1/2 months post op and 5 lbs from my goal weight i have lost about 33 lbs so far. I COULDNT BE HAPPIER AND I COULDNT BE HEALTHIER!! SO GLAD I GOT SLEEVED! i feel back to normal now because i felt like someone else in a diff body for the past 4 years! anyway, everything has gone well i followed all my post op instructions and my recent bloodwork shows all Vitamin levels normal. i have been eating healthy and i feel good. i can eat whatever i wish but i do notice that the unhealthy stuff i just plain ol DONT LIKE anymore. normally i eat "my fit foods" meals and a small is actually 2 meals for me. LET ME TELL U HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE SAVED POST OP! i never realized how much $$ i was spending on food and Snacks now i spend about $25 and that is Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week. weird thing i noticed: i am very particular about my drink. i have to have ice, i like to drink from a cup and straw and i am hooked on brewed ice tea and fresh squeezed lemonade.

food just isnt the same to sum it up i used to LIVE TO EAT, now I EAT TO LIVE.

My surgeon is Dr. Darido at 1st choice weight loss, i love my surgeon he is the best and his staff is GREAT!

      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.
