My name is Peggy and was sleeved 8-19-2015.I have been over 400 twice in my life.This time I began at 379 @ the age of 57.Ten years ago I lost 175 lbs in a support group to gain again to 379 .Age and loads of medical issues caught up with me.I had to do this or have no quality of life. I feel grateful because I don't have that nagging feeling of being hungry 24/7.

Hi Peggy. I was 54 years old and 356 when I was sleeved 2-25-15. I am 7 1/2 months out and have lost 106 pounds so far! BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE (other than becoming a nurse)!! I obviously still have a ways to go but I feel great and realize this is a lifetime journey not a race! So glad you made the decision as 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.
