Happy to report 10 days out I've lost 24 lbs and no migraines! I couldn't be happier with my decision. It's been hard and I'm still not feeling 100% but ill trade these pains with Migraines any day! This makes 38lbs in total with pre and post of weight loss. I'm so motivated and I've inspired my family to get in shape too :)

That is mind blowing! I am 11 days out and I've lost 15. But I bought a new fancy scale that measures your bones,body fat, weight etc. But every time I get on it says something else. Kindove discouraging. I am still in a bit of pain and still on pain meds so I'm not exactly a regular in the oval office if you know what I mean. I think they constipate you I'm wondering if that's a factor in the scale not budging too much in the last couple of days. I also haven't been getting all my Protein in. Im going to try getting all my protein in and see if that makes a difference as well. Do you mind me asking what your beginning stats are?

Congrats!!! I'm 12 days postop and I've lost 21 lbs!! It's so weird to see 199 on the scale. I haven't been below 200 in about 6 years!! Wonderful feeling!

      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.
