Hi there! April 28th sleever here so almost 3 months out. Down 58 lbs since surgery!!! I couldn't be happier with my sleeve and luckily I've had no complications. Yay! So I feel like weight loss has slowed a little bit the past three weeks. I was able to get a pound a day down (yes I know daily weigher here) now it's a pound every other day. Rarely I'll get a pound a day. I still think it's fantastic.

I do 4: 30 minute workouts per week on my elliptical and also thro in 8lbs arm exercises a couple times a week to. My goal is to be in the gym by 6 months out (just don't feel confident enough going yet).

Oddly I've been having hip pain and stiffness the last month that I hadn't had before and not sure what's it's about. Other than that I feel wonderful! Rode a roller coaster this summer which I hadn't done since I was a teenager (been about 14 years). Fully enjoying every day!

Hope everyone is doing very well!

      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.
