Looking wonderful!! Wow 65 lbs, so what are your stats (surgery date, pre-op loss, post-op loss)!

You are an inspiration!!!

I had surgery this past June 13th, had to do a 2 week all liquid diet but got sick and weak during the diet and was allowed because my sugar dropped I was allowed to add things to my diet, not much but dr approved which resulted in not losing much during this time, I think it was like 8 lbs. My journey has been long and hard because for the first 6 months I was very sick vomiting and nausea due to gallstones and diseased gallbladder that needed to come out and finally the surgeon that did my lap band said lets do it, lets take it out it needs to be done you've been thru enough. So on Dec 3rd I had to go in for gallbladder surgery and what was suppose to have been outpatient surgery ended up being an overnight due to complications (leave it up to me, lol) so was slow to heal from that but after that all is good with the occasional stuck episodes when I don't chew chew chew, my fault, I know. That's my story.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
