Any input helps :)

At my highest I was 380. At the time I decided to have the sleeve I was 370. I was sleeved on May 12, 2015 in Tijuana and now I weigh 218, with 152 lb lost.

When I decided I want to go on this road I was 350 last summer. Now I am at 326 after 20w of healthy eating. No op date as yet, pre op assessment booked for 29.02.16. Good luck!

Just wondering if anyone has had to have a blood clot filter put in prior to surgery? I have no history of blood clots myself...but a family history of them. Wondering if that was maybe a precaution for those of those that are on the larger end of the scale?

      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.
