It's been over twenty years ago that I last weighed below 200 and I hope and pray I will never, ever cross the threshold again. Here are some stats:

HW 276

SW 260 on 5/6/15

CW 198

35 pounds to goal.

How I plan to Celebrate - a nice massage and facial.

I'm just so grateful for this wonderful tool. I love my sleeve ❤️

Congrats! What an awesome accomplishment!

I'm hoping to get there myself at this weeks' weigh-in. I like your idea for celebrating and I'll probably copy it :)

I am 56yrs old and haven't seen the 100's since the 80's! With this surgery I will soon see the 100's again. Thank you Jesus for giving man the knowledge and skill to help the obese with our disease.

      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.
