37/NJ here. I had Gastric Sleeve July 2 and it's going well, although I've kind of hit a stall. I'll figure it out though.

Good luck on your surgery! I'm here if you ever wanna chat!

40 in NJ - getting the sleeve 10/28. Lost quite a bit on my own. Excited to see what the future holds. These last few weeks seem to be the longest (and the shortest, when I get scared).

Good Luck, keep everyone posted! :)

Yay! Another one from Jersey! :-) You'll do well with the sleeve. It takes some getting used to (and occasional stalls), but it's great!

Yep, I expect the stalls. I've been losing since beginning of July and I went on a two week stall and lost more. And this is just me doing my own thing. I've heard of your doc, my friend went to them. I work in Florham Park but I don't live there, I live in Bergen Co.

I actually went to him the one day a month that he's at JFK Hospital in Edison, as I'm from Woodbridge lol.

      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.
