I went to work yesterday for the first time a boi did they tell the difference but all where supportive no negative I told mostly everyone at my job so I have no problems w gossip and it just makes my job easier they do worry about me how I'm I doing .. That could be cause it was my first day I'm starting to feel like this is the best thing that's happen to me ..it's weird I'm still wearing my old close there too big for me but I don't want to give them up to go to a smaller size I guess when your over weight big clothes makes you feel good

Thats some amazing weight loss. I was sleeved 1 days after you and a couple pounds shy of 40lbs in 5 weeks but I am a guy... we lose a lot quicker so I have read. I don't recall a woman losing this much so quick. Thats awesome new... are you exercising a lot?

Congrats!! We were sleeved on the same day, and I am no where near that kind of loss post-op (only about 15lbs)! Great job! So, what exactly are you doing? I'm struggling to get in all my protein...maybe that's my problem.

I'm don't have any special thing I do I stop the Protein Shakes cause they make me so sick so I stop them at two weeks what I do is eat every two to three hours Protein mostly meat like tuna , chicken salad , egg , chicken today I ate egg for Breakfast , cheese stick for a snack , baked chicken lunch and tuna salad for dinner or maybe left overs from lunch .. No big secret I haven't started exercising but I'm walking more every day cause my job requires me to walk

good deal on the weight loss.. its not an easy thing nope.. but oh the end result.. I too am reluctant to shed the bigger clothes.. the elastic still holds my scrubs up and my shirts are like a mini dress now.. I guess when the elastic no longer holds them up.. I will get new ones. its taken me since dec 20th to lose 58lbs.. im hoping by may I will be down another 50.. lol or at aleast 30.. my hubby is taking me on a cruise to alaska to get away from work and all the stress of making that 60g of protein.. lol.. but you are doing fabulous.. and keep up the excellen work.. welcome to the losers club :)

      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.
