    Hi Hooverkm58! While I don't know jack about all of this, I just wanted to say Good Job! You look like we are about the same age and I would like to follow you and see how you do. I haven't even spoken to a surgeon yet, but I have got to do this. Could you please tell me how you like things so far? Do you miss food? or Is this one of those things that really doesn't bother you?
    I wish you all the best and am excited for you!

    Hi Judy, congrats to you for taking the first step to research the Gastric Sleeve.

    So far, I haven't been hungry at all, but I had worked myself into a 3-meal-a-day regimen for the 3-weeks before my surgery date. It tooks a little over 3 weeks pre-op, here's what I did: I just had protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, and then 4 oz lean protein, about 2 cups spring mix salad with raddishes, red bell peppers, purple onion, grape tomatoes and sometimes Mozzarella cheese with an olive oil and balsamic dressing. Sometimes, I added kidney beans or garbanzo beans to the salad too. I tried to just drink plain water (no artificial sweeteners at all) So basically, I cut out all sugar, rice, pasta, cereal, crackers, bread, chips. I found I wasn't starving at all, and didn't crave sweets or carbs anymore. Even had a thought that I might be able to do this without the sleeve, but came to my senses and said, that's crazy!! So far, no regrets, I love my sleeve and can't wait to see less of myself each time I look in the mirror.!
