Started the sleeve process on 9/7/2016 with 1 week Clear liquids sleeved on 9/14 it will be 3 weeks tomorrow and I'm down 31 lbs! For ANYONE out there thinking they can't do it, or struggling with anything in the gastric sleeve weight loss area....don't get discouraged! I am a previous bander and I honestly believed this surgery wouldn't work for me, or as well as I hoped, but 31 lbs in 3 weeks?!? I haven't even started working out yet! Be more committed to making a change and the weight loss WILL happen....little by little it will happen! Removing my band in Dec 2015, waited 9 months per the dr and it is by far the best decision I've ever made! Can't wait to see what size I'll be in by christmas!!!! GOOD LUCK everyone!

Awesome progress @@chevygirl10_24!! I'm excited for you to see what your loss will be by Christmas. My advice as a 3 year vet, take advantage of "honeymoon" period...it definitely gets harder and slower to lose as we get smaller. But, I can almost feel the joy coming out of you while reading your post. I remember those days! Good luck to you and keep us updated.

I'm sure it will.....I like how you refer to the honey moon stage! Lol I'm ok with and when it slows down and I'm sure I will hit the bumps in the road as it seems to be the common issue with everyone....I'm just excited for everyone who makes this huge decision and the transformations no only of the shape of their bodies but most of all the feeling of better health!

      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.
