I'm down 71 as of this morning. The only suggestion I have is be consistent. Chose what you eat very wisely, ESP since you can't eat much. I get into habits where I eat the same thing. For months I have eaten one can of chicken noodle Soup. It fills me up and is low in calories! I thought I would be sick of soup after that liquid diet but I still love it. It doesn't hurt my stomach.

Update! Sleeved on 12/16. Weight on 12/2 295. Surgery date 12/16 282. Current weight 236. I feel amazing!!! So much better!!! Gone from a 26/28 up a loose 18/20. Best decision I ever made!

Congrats! Sleeved started pre-op diet December 17th at 397 lbs and sleeved December 31st. Down to 322 today! And as of last weekend I no longer shop for clothes in the big and tall section!

Finally broke down and went shopping . Down 3 sizes. Felt wonderful! 5 more lbs and I will be halfway to goal!! 48lbs gone since December 16th.

I know this is TMI, but we are all friends here, right? I'm 5 days post op. All I've had is SF Popsicles and Water until yesterday I had some chicken broth. Holy cow! It went straight through me. Fast! Is this normal? Today I had beef broth. Same thing! Am I going to have to eat at home for a while? This is annoying!

I am one week post op, and unlike most people that are posting..I AM hungry. Any good ideas for creamy Soups that are low calorie??

I am 6 days post op. The first several days I was not hungry at all, however the past couple of days I have been hungry. I don't know if it's in my head or what, but it scares me. I don't think it helps that the past 2 days I have gone to huge Christmas party/feasts, but I'm so paranoid that I will still be hungry after this sleeve! Is this normal?

Awe, heck! I'll join ya!

Omg. This is horrible. I only have 2 pills to crush and I have been mixing my pills with a little Powerade zero. Awful awful awful. It takes hours to get that funky taste out of my mouth!

I had my surgery on Monday. I felt my best the day of the surgery. Yesterday and so far today have been pretty awful. I hope I don't regret this decision bc it's done. I can barely even sip Water. When I sip anything, I get horrible belly gas. It rips through me and is extremely painful. I can't lie down. I am sleeping in a chair in my living room. How fast will I feel better bc right now all I want to do is to scream and cry! And I'm not a baby. I take pain pretty well, but this is awful. The thought of not eating much, ok, but the thought of water hurting going down is really scaring me.

It got much better after day 4. I think my mind and body were getting adjusted to it. Praying for your surgery. I had mine Monday, 12/16 and it is a LOT more painful than I thought it would be. Thank goodness I'm not hungry b/c you literally can't eat after the surgery. My friend texted me earlier and told me not to cheat. I couldn't cheat if I wanted to. Just getting the liquids down are difficult. good luck everyone. Just keep telling yourself how much healthier and happier we will be once we heal. That's what I'm hanging on to!!

I'm guess I'm just frustrated with so many people saying they can eat. I'm not suppose to eat anything except for SF jello! This would be a huge challenge for someone that is skinny, let alone an overweight person. Thanks for the encouragement! I know I can do it, just struggling right now.

Hi Amanda! I'm not that close to Memphis, Little Rock area, but I haven't seen that many folks from our area on here. I'm scheduled for 12-16. Working on day 6 of my two week full liquid diet. Good luck on your adventure!

I got a date today, Dec 16th! Started the diet immediately today. Excited and scared all at the same time. You know you are addicted to food with it's been 15 hours and you are ready to hit someone! Haha

Yay...... I have been SLEEVED! I had surgery on Tuesday Dec. 2nd. All is well and I am very excited for this new journey.... And I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to improve my life. I had a wonderful Dr. in Miami Fl. His name is Dr. Moises Jacobs ....Good luck to everyone
