I decided that I had to do something after I realized that I was continuing to have health issues that was attributed to my weight. Without telling anyone, I signed up to begin my journey and started my journey in Feb 2016 to a much healthier and happier life.

My stats were as follows:

HW 325; SW 289; CW 268

57 lbs down in total

21 lbs down since surgery (1.5 months)

I was sleeved on 12/21 and recovery went well. I couldn't have made a better decision.

Sharing my progress with you all...

Wishing everyone a successful journey and stay tuned for more updates.

Im going in Feb 27th. I backed out the first time 2 years ago. It was a mental road block for me, but I now realize I need to do this before I get sick. How are you feeling since surgery and how difficult is the liquid phase?

I'm feeling great JerseyJules! I actually didn't mind the liquid phase. I moved faster than expected through Clear Liquids, then full liquids, purée, and solids because I wanted to get back to work after 2 weeks knowing what I could and could not tolerate food wise.

      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.
