I weighed 222 on surgery day - so during surgery and the 2 days in the hospital the IV fluids managed to allow me to gain 6 lbs.

Lost 4 of them in days 3 and 4 post op - days 4 and 5 have not seen the scale move.

But I'm sure I am not done yet! :)

NSV's -

1) Have not taken any diabetes medications since two days before surgery (I was on 3)

2) Have not taken any high blood pressure medications since one day before surgery (I was on 2)

Pretty sure the high blood pressure medications are done. Not sure if the diabetes medications are gone forever, but my numbers are really good and I do believe that once I start eating real food again and exercising at a deeper level, those medications are history too!!

Those were two of the main reasons I had the surgery in the first place so it is already winning BIG in my humble opinion!!

welcome to this site. speaking for myself, and probably many others, improvement of there health is one major reason people have WLS performed.

in my case i also have diabetes, i took meds and insulin. DOS 12/15/11 my PHP told me to stop all meds for diabetes. i was told to stay off the med til i saw my PHP again shortly after surgery. Now, no more meds or insulin per dr. couldn't be happier.

hopefully with your decrease in medical problems, i will right behind you.

continued good luck and best wishes

      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.
