Hi JosieMac,

Surgery went well, and so was the recovery. Still had two incisions that were taking a while to heal, but otherwise been back to work for 3 weeks and started at the gym regularly about 10 days ago. I hired a personal trainer for the year, 2-3 times per week, to ensure I am making the most of this journey.

So far down 64 lbs since June 1st (27 lbs pre surgery on liquid diet, and another 37 lbs since surgery).

food has been okay, only had one or two instances where either I ate too fast or just a little bit too much...felt heavy chest and watery mouth, but then subsided, So I try to stick to the portions and eat slowly.

How has your journey been going? I'm assuming you had your surgery already, is everything what you expected?

Keep in touch, would love to hear your success!!

Sean

Hi Sean,

I did not have surgery yet. I guess I was not sure it was right for me, but now I am 110 %sure I am ready.

I am glad your doing well, it sounds like you are on the right track, keep up the good work.

Keep in touch, I would love to hear more on your progress.

Josie

      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.
