Well going on 109lbs lost now got a ways to go before I try to get on these pants that I bought 10 years ago but I'm feeling lots better. I feel with the amount of food I eat I should of lost more but it's comes off so slow now. I have no regrets on having this weight loss surgery done, it controls my hunger, I uncontrollably went on a benge and it stop my hunger in its track by filling up quick then I was very un comfy for 30min.. that happened about a month and a half ago and hopefully I won't do it again but it's a great tool to have!

You lucky dog! I've been following everything to a T and have still only lost 65lbs, and 5 days shy of my year anniversary!!

So glad you're doing well Milton!

Hello everyone! I am pending insurance approval. My surgeon is Dr. Selzer with IU. My mind is in a million pieces! I have no idea of a time frame. I was told that I would have a class next and some testing, then surgery. Has anyone else had Dr. Selzer that could help me with an idea of a time frame. The holidays are coming up and I can not make plans :-( thanks!

Your not the only one, there was a girl at the support group that lost 68lbs and she started crying that I lost more for under 6 mths.. I felt bad and talked to her. I do a lot of walking and riding a bike, maybe your Mom and your family would like to walk with me at lake iola sometime, this cold weather is great for walking you burn much more calories when it's chili ... Your doing good and don't doubt yourself that your not!

Hi all, I'm fairly new to the site and a preop patient pending insurance approval. I completed all my requirements Monday, and was submitted to insurance Tuesday on Christmas eve. Hopefully it will be quite the Christmas present of approval in the next couple weeks.

I'm located in Indy and working with community's bariatric center of excellence.

I saw you in Walmart on Christmas Eve eve! I was in the video section and kept thinking "I know that face" then when you started to walk away I grabbed my fiancé's arm and said "OH MY GOD IT'S HIM!! Look at him! He's half gone!" I was going to catch up with you and say hi but you looked like you were on a mission lol you look fabulous!!

      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.
