I'm doing great. I had surgery years ago. Ask away it's what we are here for.

I'm also a sleeve.

With the sleeve I was told to expect to lose 60% of my weight. We all lose at different rates. Age body physiology, medical issues and medications can be a factor. I was a fast loser. I got to my goal in six months. I would have been fine if it took me a year or more.

What is your age bracket? I wish I would have had this done when I was younger.

Mine is livable. I can't afford plastics. Boobs and butt are gone. *laughing* At my age never expected to be a bikini model.

How far out your surgery are you? I am three months out from and I’m still have hard time eating legumes... you can always try a small spoon and see if it hurts you or not... everybody is different on food tolerance

      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.
