Thank you everyone, this journey we are all on is an amazing one! I look back at how far I have come in a little over 6 months and am so ever thankful for this surgery. The outward appearance is just a small part of all of the changes that have become from surgery!

Thank you again everyone for the kind words of encouragement. My Stats are on my signature (weight) and my profile for height. I don't really have any tips, I just my new small tummy as a tool for sucess. I Work out doing boxing and kickboxing at a professional boxing gym at least 2 times a week, they are hour long classes. I try and take walks with my family and dog on the weekends for a few miles. I just watch what I eat very carefully on myfitness pal. I stay under 800 cals , under 40 carbs and get at least 60 grams of Protein. Those are the only 2 things that I really concern myself with.

Do you find that you have enough energy when you are doing the boxing and kickboxing by only having 800 calories? I'm concerned about this for myself. I should be cleared today to start more exercise and I'm going to go join my local boxing club. I guess it's just beyond me to know that I may burn more calories in one class then I take in all day lol Congrats by the way at your amazing success. You are definitely a great inspiration!

Can't believe I am already 6 months post op! While I will never forget where I started' date=' it is starting to be a distant memory and my new life is better than I ever could have imagined!!

The struggles in the beginning were worth it, after all who wouldn't have struggles when you do something like we have done. I just try and take it one day at a time, we all have our good days and bad, but you can't let one bad day overtake all the progress that has been made!

I feel I do have enough energy with my workouts and not eating a lot. I do find myself on days that I do boxing/kickboxing I eat more Protein. Yesterday I did a boxing class in the afternoon, so for Breakfast I had a Protein shake, lunch was chicken, snack in the morning were nuts, afternoon snack was beef Jerky and for dinner I had ground beef... Doing more Protein then needed on work out days seem to help. It all just depends, I had to work my way back up to having a good energy level. I still have days though when I am exhausted.

      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.
