It's been 16 months since I had the Gov'ner installed and I have lost 100 pounds! Woo Hoo! From 344 to 244, from 56" waist to a 42", from knee pain to running steps, to a completely new wardrobe. I have 44 more pounds to lose to reach my goal but the finish line is in sight!

Ya'll have a Merry Christmas.

Coming from a pre-surgery patient your weight loss is inspiring. It reassures me I'm making the right choice and that this can be done. Congratulations on your hard work and good luck on reaching your goal.

Sparky!!!!

Thank you and congratulations!!!

I'm 9 days away from "Roscoe" being installed and your post got me excited once again.

i was sitting here thinking I shouldnt go somewhere because of this pre-op diet and your words just encouraged me so much. There is NOT a food that can deter me now!!

Patience is the key. 5 pounds in three weeks is good. I my journey I had weeks where I did not lose any weight some weeks I'd lose 5 pounds(but I'm a guy). It is a distance race, go the distance and you will get your reward. It has been frustrating at times but looking back over the last 16 months it's been pretty quick. Remember it's taken a lot of years to put the weight on, it's going to take a while to get it off. Maybe not the answer you are looking for but it is the best answer I can give you. Hang in there.

      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.
