I had surgery on April 18 and I am feeling really good. I have attached three pictures, the first being before my surgery on 4-8-12, the second was 6-6-12 and the last one was yesterday 7-25-12.

I can't really tell how much weight I have lost until I see myself in these pictures. The weight is coming off slowly but all in all I feel good and am keeping it off. My exercise routine has been stopped due to a trip to the emergency room and a stay in the hospital. I was short of breath and I ended up having blood clots in my lungs. VERY scary when three different doctors tell you that you are lucky you went into the hospital when you did. I have been really thanking God for not taking me from this world yet. You definitely do a lot of soul searching and evaluating what is important and what is not. I ended up being in hospital 3 days and then off of work for a week and a half. This week is my first week back to work and I am weak and tired but all in all I am on the mend and feeling pretty good.

God is good!!!!

      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.
