Once I was up and about and able to sleep "normally again". I started feeling like myself, Now with each passing day, I know it was the right decision, I feel like every time I wash clothes, I have to give something away.... awesome feeling

@@wruiz hi I my gastric sleeve surgery done on Tuesday Dec.27th. So it has only been 3 days. Could you tell me what your starting weight was and your height? I am just curious about progress-- I know everyone is different but it is fun to hear about successful weight loss. I can't wait to feel better and be a month out from surgery. Thanks for posting

Sure!!, my surgery weight was 231, I haven't weighed since Christmas my weight was 205, my surgery date was 12/8 and I'm 5' tall ( 5 and 1/2 inches, but I'm sure I'll lose that 1/2 inch, lol)

@@wruiz I am so glad to hear that each day gets better..I am having weird pain when getting out of bed and getting comfortable when sleeping It's not bad pain but the type that tells you not to do that again and makes you lay still. I love to sleep on my stomach so sleeping on my back is really bothering me. How long do you think until I can sleep on my stomach again?

      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.
