I had surgery on July 23rd At the Washington Hosp Center, In washington DC. Dr T. Shopes was the Doctor. Everything went good, some pain and gas for about two days,and then it was clear sailing. My staring weight was 300 pounds, day of surgery 285.today my weight is 260 pounds. I so pleased with my results so far. I started walking 3 miles on Aug 1st. I'm on the losers bench now.

I dont know for sure but from my expeience, most guys that go on any type of "diet" lose quicker the women because of the fact that they have more muscle mass and more muscle means more calories burned.(HOW UN FAIR TO US LADIES):confused1:

Both my wife and I had the surgery 1 week ago today. I almost can't believe the results so far, 30lbs lost for me, she has lost about 16. Our diet is exactly the same, ok maybe I'm having a few more popcicles, but other than that the same. We are both up to a mile a day walks, this is on top of the up/down stairs and everyday moving. So yes I think guys, especially those of us who have a good amount of muscle under it all, lol have an easier time with the initial weight loss. Now to see if the long term loss is similar. I don't really expect a 30lbs / week loss that is for sure, but a healthy 5-8 / week would be good for my motivation! Will keep you informed. Great job on your loss to this point! Oh and I don't remember my PIN so I can't update my "ticker" so if anyone has a clue how to update this please let me know!

      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.
