I am one month out and as of Monday 23 lbs down. It is shocking that this time has already passed but as everyone said, it gets easier day by day. I have my good days and I have my bad days, I have only felt "hungry" a handful of times. In the beginning it was very difficult to not be able to "eat" dinner with my family, however we have adjusted to what I can eat. The head hunger is the devil!!! Which to my surprise wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am starting to feel "normal" again, although not all my energy is back. I will admit that I try to watch my carbs and all that jazz but it just doesn't work for me right now. I eat such a small amount that I get the majority of my calories from 100%, no sugar added juice, otherwise I would be under 300 calories a day. I hope that will improve over time. Also, with taking all the vitamins/pills, that ends up being a meal in itself. Overall I am happy with my decision, I have already notice changes not just in my physical appearance but in ME, and I have to say I like it! I do worry about getting too comfortable with my sleeve down the road and I worry about the affects it will have on my body (hair loss, skin issues, ect). Although I do know that my overall health will improve dramatically, these are still things that weigh on my mind. I have days that I wonder if I did the right thing but it's been a while since one of those thoughts have approached. I do increase my antidepressant, I felt I needed it, all the change is a lot to digest....haha! :)

That is my update! :001_wub:

Sarah, congrats on doing so well. It does get better and better by day. I now can eat pretty much anything my husband eats for dinner, where before I was having to eat differently. You are doing so well on your weight loss too. Again congrats!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
