Hi, I am not from the City, but Long Island. I was just sleeved last Thursday the 18th of August. So far I am doing okay. I sometimes read to much on here and get a bit nervous that something will happen to me next. I am keeping a positive mind.

Thankfully no issues of any kind.

HW 340 SW 320 CW 200. GW was 225. I'm trying to reach 190 but I do slot of weightlifting so I'm keeping a lot of muscle weight. Vitamins are good. I get a B12 injection every month and a Vitamin Patch every other day. I can eat just about anything. A lot of things I don't eat since this was a change of lifestyle

I'm a little over 7 weeks. Down about 25lbs. Had a rough start. Dehydrated 2xs in less than a week a few weeks ago. Finally getting on track. Best decision I've made for myself!! Very nice to meet you! And our fellow NYers!!

Atonor, what was the hardest obstacle you have had on you journey? What Vitamins are you taking? The Bariatric ones I take are not the best but will finish out the bottle. They just taste horrible.

      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.
