GM, my Bariatric family!!! This is a quick update on my progress!!! I AM 100 days/ 3 & 1/2 Months POST OPP!!!! Sleeve Date 12/15/16 by Dr. Luis Cervantes of Tijuana Mexico, Water as directed, old habits trying to creap back in, but the surgery kicks in when u fall weak!!! No matter what and how much u crave something, you cant eat more that 4-5 bites w/ no liquid at same sitting, make sense? BUT HEY THATS WHAT WE PAID FIR , RIGHT??? (OVER A PERIOD OF TIME food WILL BECOME A HASSLE MORE THAN AN ENJOYMENT! I just had a BBQ @ my house & i grilled over 50lbs of meat & i ate 1 rib & 1 pork chop (in intervals) and sipped some my championship lemon iced tea!!! am finally @goal weight 250, my new goal is 240, over the next 30days! 10lbs a month is a significant decrease from 30lbs a month when your on liquids, so take advantage of that time , you need it to heal properly & thats the majority of the Weightloss! My money was well spent, im a cash patient & i had absolutely no complications in mexico, call me if you skeptical about going out of the country for the procedure, dont miss your blessings lunch, i ordered Soup or salad, i had bout 10 bites of salad ( you hv to let it get soggy, sorry) and about 3 oz of Soup, we sat for bout an hour so i was able to take my time!!! Photo is from my Pre Bday Photo shoot ! & yes i had my Tummy Tuck b4 the sleeve

      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.
