Four weeks out and I had something interesting happen. It was 3 am and I had awoken which is normal for me. Everything was fine and I readjust to go back to sleep. Suddenly I feel something come into my throat. It burned like hell and I thought I was going to vomit. It literally choked me and I shot up out of bed. I didn't vomit but I belched a couple times and everything was fine. I worried about what would have happened had I not been awake? Would I have ended up like Cass Elliot?

I have experienced that. I had it without the surgery. I think believe its acid reflux related. It is very scary, i also felt like I was choking. I jumped up out of bed and took a small sip of Water. Scared the geck out of me. Talj to your doctor about it.

Im worried about aging with the sleeve surgery. Ive had a few family members have this done & they aged. They were older when they got it done. Im 37 years old & my BMI is 35, lower end, but Im so nervous to age 10 or 20 years with the surgery, I might not want to get it done. Does Everyone age? Is it a guarntee that you age with the surgery?

I've lost 135lbs since early February. Everyone tells me I look so much younger. A guy at work tells me I look about 12 years old every time I see him.

I'm 42.

I'm doing great. I haven't had any issues what so ever. I'm having no problems meeting my Fluid and Protein goals.

I'm not sure about the monthly meetings. I never thought to ask either.

How are you doing?

      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.
