Bookworm I'm glad to hear your surgery went well too. To be honest I don't care about his bedside manner as long as the surgery is great. Your do in no great losing weight too. Did you feel nausea after surgery and after you got home?

I have not throw up because of any foods. sometimes I feel like I can eat too much at this point but I am not sure I try to stick to what Arianne tells me. I was doing a pure Protein Shake every morning but I am getting sick of them so I have stopped those. I find myself using the Protein Bars as subsitutes for my sweet tooth. I found out on my own a lot of the nausesness was actually gas and I felt better if I ate a Rolaid or gas ex.

Acampbell are you getting Hunger pains if you don't eat enough? How much do you have to go to reach your goal weight? I have so much to lose that hearing about these stalls make me nervous. Sorry ask so.many questions. I'm Los 46 and am wondering about the excess skin. Since the weight is coming off slower do you feel that your skin is returning back to normal?

I have 18 more to go to my original goal but when I make it there I may try to do 10 more. Overall my skin is not bad. My total goal was to lose 75lbs. No problem ask as many questions as you want, I don't mind at all.

Acampbell you look gteat! Seeing your pictures makes me excited to have my surgery which is August 20th.

Blessed7 let me know how the 2 weeks of liquid works out... I'm still dreading it and will take you up on contacting you for support. I guess we can't take any sort of diet pill huh. Hopefully like you said if I keep my thought on the surgery I should be able to do it.

I was wondering about Hair loss. I see it seems to happen a lot and dr say it's due to rapid weightloss. Acampbell have you had any problems with hairloss? I bought some stuff from Amazon which someone from utube who had the surgery suggested it. I'm hoping it will help.

      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.
