I had my surgery almost 10 months ago. Will be on the 16th. When I started my journey I weighed 390 pounds. When I weighed in yesterday, 245 pounds!!! I feel amazing! I never thought I would ever be back to this size. It is wonderful to go into a normal store( like Walmart) and buy clothes off the rack. I used to buy through a magazine. I still lose about 2 pounds a week.

I am very proud. It will happen and come off but it isn't easy. Watching my friends and family go places that I can't eat at, is more challenging farther out. I have learned to say "no" going through a fast food line. I thought, about 2 months ago, that I would just order some chicken nuggets, how bad could it be? Well it can be bad. I got sick and it was very painful digesting. I don't do that anymore. Lol.

Congrats, this is awesome! You should be proud, you have worked very hard to get where you are.

I think most of us test the waters at some point to see what we can handle, and what we just can't tolerate. For me greasy fried foods don't sit well (which is good thing for me) so I'm not tempted anymore.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing :)

      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?

      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.
