i have lost over 100 lbs and now i am recovering from a Tummy Tuck, muscle repair,lipo, that i had done 14 days ago by dr Manual Bello and all is going great..I have been on a rapid ride.

i weighed in at 195 when i got here my heaveyest was 308 i have a muscler build and i went from a size 44 to 32 and when my swelling goes down i may be a 30..i was buying medium shirts in the mall yesterday, that was pretty cool.

in 7 monthes i will have lost more than my goal weight and had my excess skin removed after 20 years of being obese/overweight feeling like all things / programs that i have tried so hard that i was never going to lose my weight and in just 7 monthes all my dreams have been answered...i will post my pictures up when i get home..i stayed in Alamater hospital an xtra 10 days just to speed my recovery and be able to relax and not have all the pressures that comes with being at home..

I wish everybody the best of luck

thank you

Hey Dano -

We were in the van with you the day you had your TT -- Ruthi rode in with you from SD and Bob and I were picked up by Ernesto in Calexico. Remember? You and I were in Recovery together?? So glad to hear things are going well for you ... you'll love this site - we're all wonderful (and modest too!!) ... can't wait to see the "new" you.

Congrats!!!

      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.
