Congrats on your weight loss, I am curious, as A guy that started close to the same weight as you if you tracked your weight loss as you went and what that looked like from month to month, I am five weeks out from surgery and down 32 , 42 from 1 week pre op diet. Wishing you continued success.

So, you’ve maintained your weight loss for the past five years then, right? That’s truly amazing. Anybody seeing you now would never guess that you were once obese. Your body literally restored itself through process and disciplined workouts. Was excess skin an issue (because it sure doesn’t look like it was)? I’ll bet you get a lot of second looks now...it’s a mind bender to wonder if those same people would give you the time of day when you first started out just bc your body was bigger. Your heart and soul are the same.

You really shaped yourself into Mr. America. You’d have my vote.

Yes I have done a good job of keeping the extra weight off. It's been a lil over 5 years and I have stayed disciplined. No extra skin. I work out constantly and whole your losing weight you tighten the skin as you lift weights. I'm thrilled still til today. That surgery saved my life. Thank you.

      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.
