U went from an 18/20 to a 12 in just over a month? That's insane! These posts are so inspiring, especially since I am just 6 days post op. I also started at a 18 and bought a size 10 dress for next spring. At this rate I will probably fit Into a lot earlier than then!:) plz share ur secrets people!

That's so exciting! I wear a 2xl in scrubs but recently ordered a size large pre op in anticipation that they will fit in a few months. I figure even if my body levels out at a medium then at least my scrubs will be a little loose..just how I like them ;)

I did!! So very exciting. I am 5'6". I started out at 221 and as of this morning I am 193. I am eating well and never feel deprived. I am riding my bike at least 2-5 miles a day and walking 3-4 days per week. Nothing really strenuous or extra special as far as exercise. I had a small two week stall about two weeks ago. Everything is going good. You will see the same results. Just realize that everyone does things at their own pace. You will get there!!! Congrats on your choice to better your health.

      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.
