All, I was sleeved on 3/29 and so far here's a few changes that make it all worth it.

Down 57lbs (what everyone wants)

No longer on high blood pressure meds

No longer on high cholesterol meds

No longer snore at night

No longer urinate 4+ times per night

No longer have eczema

No longer like bourbon (might be a bad thing haha)

No longer count calories

No longer watch carbs

No longer worry of clothes fit (from XXL to L)

Can see ribs and abs again (haha)

No longer think about food period.

So if you're on the fence, JUMP!

The first two weeks sucked. After that... Gravy...

Great reaffirming post...I go in for my sleeve surgery tomorrow (June 30) and I'm feeling very nervous, anxious, excited - the works! I know it will be worth it and that I'm taking the steps to change my life, but it's the great unknown that scares me a little.

      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.
