Hi,

I am new to this site and I am 3 weeks post op this Thursday. I have lost approx. 20 lbs. I had the sleeve procedure done through Nicholson Clinic in Plano, Texas, which I highly recommend.

I wish that somewhere either in the Nutritionists classes or the seminar or somewhere - someone had told me that I needed to only eat 900 calories a day for the rest of my life or I would gain weight. That was never mentioned. This may only be my reality but it doesn't matter that it is good healthy food that I'm supposed to be eating - if I eat over 900 calories a day - I gain weight. Don't know that it would have changed my mind - because I am beyond pleased with the results (I'm almost 2 years out) but it would have been nice to know. Good luck to you!!

      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.
