Yay, I have a new buddy!! I'm in Annapolis. Well, we probably won't be going to the gym together but we can definetly compare and share and just talk if need be. You can reach me on here, by email or you can call me. I'll inbox you my info. So how much weight have you lost, are you going to the gym?

Hi, ya, that would be great. I haven't been on here much lately. I've been using my fitnesspal.com to track my calories, exercise and weight. So how are you? Are you feeling okay?

I am on mfp too... lesslexi :)

I'm doing well. Down a little over 28lbs in 28 days. I am still amazed when I take a few bites of something and I'm full.

How are you?

Thats great! I can eat a lot more then a few bites though. I get full at 1 cup of food. I feel like my weight loss is slow but I 'm not exercing like I should be. I can tell in my clothes that I've lost weight. I've had to start wearing old clothes that I saved. I was about a 22 -24 and I can get into a 14 now but I don't like the way it makes my stomach look so I wear 16's and they are starting to look a little loose, I have to wear a belt.

Do you take pictures of yourself? I usually take a picture in the same outfit on the 9th of each month. I haven't posted them but I think I'll do that tonight.

We should talk more often, I could use someone to keep me in line lol.

I'm tatu31 on MFP

That is awesome!!! I could use the encouragement, too. My husband is amazing and supportive, but he doesn't quite get it... blessed with awesome metabolism and a baseball player. He's lucky I love him. ;)

Doing well. Still only eating meats bc I don't have much room for much else, but I feel like each day I'm taking in a little more. That's good bc it means the swelling is going down :). Down 28 lbs at 6 weeks post op. I'm tired of the shakes, but I make sure to have at least one per day to hit my Protein targets.

How are you & the other MD folks doing?

      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.
