Just finished my 3 month supervised diet, got approved for insurance last week, and finally scheduled for June 27th. It seems like a long time from now, but at least it will give me extra time to lift weights and build up some strength and also go through my food bucket list!


Starting Weight: 329lb 1/19/2017
Surgery Weight: TBD 6/27/2017
Current Weight: 313lb 5/9/2017

I am from the Corpus Christi area. I have a sister-in-law that lives in Irving and a brother-in-law that lives in Plano. I love that area and probably will go up there in the fall for a visit. Hopefully, a lot thinner. : )

*Update*

Only 3 more days until my Sleeve surgery (June 5th)! I am on day 8 of my 10 day liquid diet. I just want to encourage others when you get to your liquid diet phase. The first few days were extremely hard for me, I wasnt just hungry, I believe I was fighting the extreme addictions to food that got me to this point. But by beating those addictions and staying strong on the liquid phase I feel so confident going into surgery! Not to mention I've already lost 19lbs in 8 days! You got this guy's, this is going to do amazing things for all of us!

      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.
