Hi,

Congratulati on your 50 pounds loss!!!!

Sorry, to hear you are having complications.. I hope the nutritionists can help you.

Laney from Long Island also. I had my sleeve done at Stony Brook with Dr Pryor on 8/18/16. I am down 35 pounds but I have been at a stall for 2 weeks now it is frustrating.

Hope the complications get resolved for you soon.

Hi,

My name's Jerry. I'm not technically on the island but I'm pretty close.

My wife and I live in Bayside Queens and we are both getting sleeved during the

next two months. My wife is having her procedure this Friday and I'm getting mine on Feb. 14th.

We're both very excited about starting this new phase of our lives and look forward to any support we can find.

Was wondering if there were any other couples that have had this done on this forum. I'd love to hear some

of your stories. Gotta run. Have a great day, everyone.

Best,

Jerry

Hi there, almost 9 months post-op and down 75 pounds feeling great!!!How is everyone else doing? I meet up with some others from LI that have been sleeved and if anyone is interested in joining us our next meet up is June 3rd at Panera in Garden City. It is nice to be able to chat with others that have gone through and understand the surgery we had. Elaine

      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.
