Today marks one year since I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery, and I can only say that was the best decision I have ever made. I have lost 120 pounds since the surgery, and I haven't had any problems at all. I do need to get back on track when it comes to exercising because sometimes I get lazy. The day of my surgery was April 14, 2015, and I was 275 pounds that day. Today I am very happy to say I'm 155 pounds, and even though I still have 10 pounds more to lose to be on my goal weight I am very proud of how far I've come. I honestly don't remember the last time I weighted what I weight now or wore medium size clothing, and size 7 dress and pants size. It is unbelievable, and I'm very happy to share this because it is an accomplishment that many of us before the Gastric Sleeve struggle to achieve.

Congrats! Good job on meeting your goal within a year. My one year surgiversary is on May 12. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't meet my goal by then but I have lost a ton of weight that I am proud of.

Congrats, that is great. I had my 8 month surgiversary on the 3rd, and I am down 91 lbs and it feels amazing. I still have about 30 lbs to go to reach goal, and I can only hope I am as close as you are to your goal t my 1 year. Good job and I love my sleeve also.

      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.
