I've lost 45 pounds this month. I'm only 2 weeks post op. I'm only allowed pureed foods, yogurt sugar free ices or jello and protein drinks are keeping me alive. Lol. Also eggs. 3 days ago starvation is a serious concern. I'm becoming moody irritable hungry and light headed. Anyone have suggestions? Is this happening to anyone else

I can not believe I am at my 1 yr anniversary already. Seems just like yesterday I was getting ready to go into surgery. I have to say best decision I made. I am down 80 pounds as of today:) My family have been very supportive from the start of my journey and I am so, grateful to all of them. I could not have done it with out them. Looking to get the other 20 pounds off and I will be at my goal I set for myself. Congratulations to everyone on here to becoming a healthier you!!! HW 263 SW 249 CW 183

Struggling. Hungry. If I could do this easily, I wouldn't need this procedure. Sigh. [emoji30]

I just wanted to wish you well. Hopefully they can figure out something that can help. If it turnes out it's Hashimoto's, there is a correlation between that and gluten sensitivity. Keep us posted!

Keep in mind, everyone gets cold feet the last few weeks, so what you are feeling is normal nerves. BUT there are people that get the surgery and regret it long term, so use this time to weigh all your options. Option 1. Get the surgery as planned. 2. If you are a candidate, go with a sleeve instead.. fewer complications (but if they do happen, they'll be just as expensive as the bypass ones). 3. Cancel the surgery, with the understanding that you may reschedule when you are comfortable. 4. Reschedule the surgery for January. 5. Have the surgery in Mexico, and that would leave quite a bit of money in your bank account to help with any complications. (I went to Mexico with Dr. Illan, and have no problem recommending that option to others. It was a very good experience.. and Dr. Illan is willing to help with any future issues, you just have to be able to fly down for the care). Complications from surgery would be expensive, but so are complications from morbid obesity. Diet and exercise programs are a bargain, so if you haven't tried them, that may be a great thing to do if you choose options 3 or 4.
