Just wanted to post my progress because I can't believe 29 lbs has made such a huge difference!

I had surgery June 4th and have gotten off 1:2 medications..

Pre surgery: 194

Day of surgery: 188

Today: 165

I only did 1 day of Milk of Mag I did not need a pre surgery diet.

I can't fit into my clothes from before surgery and it feels amazing! I have about 35 more pounds to lose! I still have my BP meds to get off of. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I would love to see more inspirational photos posted, it keeps me going!

I have to say, the first 2 weeks were HELL!!! But if you can get through those hard times its SO worth it!

I went back to work on Monday and I have so much more energy and I love it!!

Yes! Literally for 2 weeks I cried almost everyday telling myself I was stupid for doing this and hating myself for putting myself through hell! I was depressed and it sucked! But as soon as I hit puréed I was able to chew food and felt so much better! Now at 5 weeks Im eating everything an feel awesome! Just get through these next couple weeks and you will feel better! And as soon as you see the scale move and people start the compliments you will feel great!

      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.
