Today is exactly one month post-op....I had my surgery on April 3rd and my weight was 195. I weighed in today (175) and have lost exactly 20 pounds! I have lost 2 inches in my chest (not exactly happy about that). Lost 2 inches from my waist, 2 inches from my hips, 2 inches from my arms and 1 inches from my thighs!!! All together I have lost 9 inches in a month. Just thought I would share!!! So exciting.

LOL deflate? That's a funny term but a great visual. That's exactly what I'll do too.

Great job Dhales. I figure that if my breast totally goes away then i will get surgery as well to fix them. I use to joke all the time i was going to have breast surgery anyway so that when i pass away (hopefully as a old woman) they will be pointing stright up to the heavens... lol not sagging.

      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.
