I turned 62 in August and had the sleeve on September 29. I have multiple health problems including MS. So far, so good. Beginning the 1st week in September when I started my pre-op diet I have lost 26 lbs.

I have just joined and are beginning this journey. All i have done is go to a bariatric seminar. I couldn't find a doctor willing to take medicare. I appreciate all the encouraging posts. Twenty years ago my doctor strongly suggested weight loss surgery. I "chickened" out at the last minute. Now I am 68 years old, 60 lbs heavier and have many additional health issues.

I am in pain, use oxygen, and cant do anything.

I'm excited to start this journey!

      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.
