I love seeing how far people have come even if it's just a few months later. I love knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that everything will eventually work out! I just got sleeved on 12/28!

Hi Shelby!

If you wish to see such pictures, my advice would for you to go on the "Tell your gastric sleeve surgery story", there is a whole topic where people post those, and quite often to be honest :)

How has it been going for you so far? Not too difficult I hope?

Cheers!

Oops, I meant to say "Gastric Sleeve Surgery Success Stories", not quite the same.

I'm not nearly at goal yet .I'm four pounds away.i am going to be more ambitious and am going to try my best to drop another 12-15 pounds.but you can click my profile and see my 9 month 100 pound weight loss pictures.The one thing I want you to keep in mind is most of us really thought it would work for us.We all thought we would be the one that it couldn't work for ...we did it cause we were desperate.Look at us now!

I hugely regret not taking "before" pictures. I was so ashamed of my weight that I probably didn't get a photo taken for years before surgery. They snapped one at my doctors office during my pre op visit (to my horror) but I haven't seen it, they save it for your 1 year follow up to compare. I advise anyone who is getting ready to take a bunch of pictures, I'd love to see them now even though I'm still far from goal.

      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.
