I'm doing ok....it's been a huge adjustment but in time it will be good. I'm on soft foods now and sometimes it's difficult but I need my nutrition. Another thing I find difficult is getting all my fluids. Trying to balance the drinking and eating has been trying but I will get it one of these days. Came back to work this week so very glad it's the weekend! Thanks for asking! How are you?

How have you done weight wise???

Well...I don't regret the surgery but the first few weeks have been difficult. I know a lot of others who say it gets better and just to hang in there. As far as pain from the surgery....almost none at all...not even bad gas pains. I consider myself lucky for that. Didn't even need any of the pain meds they sent me home with. My stomach is still swollen and can't wait til it gets back to feeling normal. I have found that Tomato Soup and sugar free pudding sit best in my tummy. As far as weight....when I started the class in October I was 236....one week after surgery on feb 25th I weighed in at 181 :-)

At 5'3.5" I would love to get as low as 130. I haven't been back to the gym yet but should be going back soon. FYI...Dr. Irani is awesome! He really takes the time to explain things and makes you feel at ease....

He only had me on the pre op liquid diet for one week. I had lots of broth, Isopure Protein and Water. It was probably the hardest thing I had to do. I will never have chicken broth again! I was bad and cheated on my 4th day but got back on the wagon.

The weight loss has been worth it. I went back to work and realized none of my work cloths don't fit anymore! I'm waiting for the swelling in my tummy to go down before I start shopping.

Hang in there. I know how hard it is but there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

Dr Irani is great!! Since Oct-jan I only lost 12 the whole 3 month thing just didn't really work. My body gets adjusted n accustomed too quick and then doesn't work. From feb 25- march 6 (10 days) i lost 17 pounds. Since surgery mar 6th I've only lost 5. Bummed I'm only at 5 pounds :( but in reality I've lost 22 pounds in18 days.

I haven't lost any in almost 2 weeks. I heard that's normal due to swelling and fluids. I'm ok with that. I know it will start coming off again. Wow...22 pounds in 18 days is amazing! I will weigh in a couple days and see if I lost any...

22 .bs in 18 days??? Remarkable! Can you imagine gaining 22 lbs in 18 days??? Weight loss is waaay faster than weight gain and that's where our focus should be! Great job!

Lol thanks!! The inches are coming off just as fast. Which I'd rather lose those anyway lol! The upside to losing slowly is less sag and better skin!!

I think I could be. I'm still not able to eat much so I'm just kinda stuck right now. But I'm not worried at all. I'm still in recovery mode.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
