I had the sleeve, surgery was much easier than I thought it would be. Surprised me how great I felt and how soon.

I'm 34 and 5'7. I am starting to see loose skin and I don't think any amount of working out will help it....but honestly, it doesn"t bother me at all, I've learned quite a while ago to love my body , whatever it may look like.

I do work out. I started late, did mostly just walking for the first 3 months. At about 4 months post op I started the gym and hated it. Sooo instead of attempting to drag myself to something I hated, I found things I like instead. I tried a fitness class and I loved it. So I've been doing about 4 to 5 one hour classes a week (anything from Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Spin, weight class, kickboxing...)

The key for me was finding things I like doing.

I'm 5'7 and I don't really have a goal weight other than wanting to be at a healthy BMI. That would bring me to 159, so I guess that is my goal and once I reach it, I may reassess.

      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.
