I actually had a question for you personally Tiff. I am hoping to be as successful as you after surgery, I am interested in the low carb high Protein diet you adopted. I was wondering do you still keep your carb intake lower then 30-40 grams to this day, like are you still on the same diet?

Signed,

Your twin separated at birth.

Nopers, I'm maintaining now, and after 4 months post-op I increased carbs to about 40-50 grams a day because I kept dropping weight so fast. I even added white carbs and more veggies around 5-6 months out because I was still losing 3-5lbs per week on average.

I'm getting about 1200-1300 calories, 60-80grams of carbs, and 70-80 grams of Protein per day just to maintain my weight at this point. If I were go back to 30grams of carbs a day, I would continue to lose, and I have zero desire to lose any more pounds.

In 6 months, you'll have rocked the sleeve, and no only be one sexy b*tch, you'll feel amazing ! ! !

Tell your friend and dad many thanks for their service from one military family to another. I'm holding my breath that John can avoid a deployment this year. I'm okay with him going if he has to go, but if we can avoid it this year, I'll be ecstatic.

      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.
