Well tomorrow will be one year to the day and I have to say that I am a new gal' date=' I was not expecting the results that I have had. I feel wonderful and would not change anything that I have done. i waited a while to have this done debating on if this was right for me. I deliberated would this be right and I now which I had not waited on this. I started out over 300 lbs. when I got the process started. I had my surgery and started loosing. I have changed lifestyle choices on food and exercise. I have not been one to count all the Protein and calories etc. but I have made choice on how I eat and this is the best way I have done this. I exercise on a regular bases now and it is not the hard workout but enough to get the blood flowing. I can officially say that I am half the woman I was. I have lost exactly one half of what I weighed when I started this process. If you have reservation or trying to decide about this surgery I would highly recommend it to all who need a new start on life. I have been given a new chance ...[/quote']

Wow! Fantastic!

Wow, what a change! Congrats!

Now that you are a year out, how does your food volume for one meal compare to where you were at say, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months.....

Wow!!!!! You look incredible.

I'm also almost a year out and my weight loss has been steady but very slow. I was a low BMIer to start though.

Hoping to lose the last 27 in the next 6 months!

Unbelievable before and after!

I am getting more in than say six months ago but still losing just not as fast. Just have to watch myself at time and say back off when I catch myself doing "bad" habits.

Thank you for sharing. Simply amazing! You have done something right! Did you have stalls? What did you do to get out of them?

I have not had bad stalls. Increasing calories sometimes helped jump start when I had several days at the same weight. Also don't know if it is just me but having some caffeine seemed to help.

I am not real sure. Have not been a counter but would guess between 900-1100.

      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.
