Hello all! I had the Gastric Sleeve on January 20, 2015. I've already experienced the famous stall and was about as frustrated as most of you. I have appreciated all of the posts and information I've found here. You all have helped me tremendously! So, I'm not someone who posts alot, not even on my Facebook, but just really felt the need to share a bit. I'm 44, been overweight since I was 22 (after birth of my son) and finally just had it. I was able take a leave from work and finally do this! Best decision ever! So, stats. .hw recorded 258 in August 2014..sw 230, currently 217.7. 19 days out...not bad. ..looking forward to a healthier, happier me! Good luck everyone.

*wanted to add I'm only 5ft tall ????

Welcome! I've learned a lot from this site, plus it's fun to share milestones, etc. Have a nice honeymoon - I'm still in mine, but feel like the clock is ticking down.....

      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.
