Unfortunately, it took a serious health scare (my heart stopped in ICU) and my mother and father in-law passing from cancer to take my heath seriously. I had the sleeve done June 2014. High weight 254 day of surgery 234. I’m maintaining in the 130’s.

There is no secret to bariatric weight loss. Follow your plan. Learn the basics. log in an app, hydrate, exercise/activity. If you gain call your team. Never be afraid to ask for help.

@Healthy_life2

hey bud - are you referring to recent heart prob? or talking about from earlier?

if answer is you just had the "issue" so very sorry. (or earlier too) very sad -

hope you are ok now? Improving?

too many OP take their health for granted. Don't go to PHP at all, or not enough. Since some

OP don't go to doc/normal check-ups, they don't know if they have developed diabetes/high blood pressure etc.😒

Unfortunately for various health probs that i've always had - i am able to be forewarned by the doc "if something is developing" (see my general doc too often

for checkups)

50+ years ago, as i turned into a teenager, my mom always "mentioned" i need to loose weight.

mom and i both referred to my appearance (vanity reasons) to loose weight.

It took many years to realize my health was getting worse, and worse! that's why i needed to,(not for my appearance only, but for my health -must loose the weight Kept yo yoing like OP,

finally one month before I turned 58 years old - i was sleeved. Now am 65 years YOUNG!!

i love proudly yelling that after weighing 235 lbs DOS - like you, i will fluctuate the 130ish range too.

7+ years PO - maintaining - still cute as a button🤣

your advise to newbies et al, is as usual great. reader beware/listen to @Healthy_life2 wise words!!

Love your pics - lookin' beautiful in your LBD (little black dress!) keep on keeping on. Keep responding, writing your posts. We all love to hear from you

finally - ALL of us must take a page from @Healthy_life2 book - watch your

body/ take care of yourself of yourselves - your life depends on it!!

Who loves you baby?? 😉

      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.
