I had my surgery on April 11, 2008 and have been fighting to get into Onderland for a while now and once I was in it I made myself wait to post that I was actually in it since I can vary in weight throughout the day and in a week. I have been in onderland for a month now and I am down to 193.4!!!! It has been a bumpy ride at times but well worth it! At my highest known weight I was 447 and I now weigh less than the total weight I lost before and after surgery 253.4!

Thank you to Dr. Felts and his staff and all of the people in my life who have supported me. My goal weight is 165, which is still overweight but I am and will be a much healthier person. :-)

WOW!!! That is amazing. You are quite the inspiration to everyone. I can't imagine the motivation and willpower it took to get where you are. Heck, I don't even know you and I am proud of you!!! I can't imagine losing more than you actually way, you've lost more than half of you!!!

You look beautiful in your picture and when I start feeling challenged, I'll think of your success. I still have 54 pounds to hit onederland but when I do, there will be a big party in my house!!! Great job!!! :D

      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.
