I have so much going through my head right now. I'd like to share some of them in hope for some feed back... One of things that scares me is sipping Water, I have NO problem drinking water.. But I drink it fast especially after a good work out and then the saggy skin .. I just turned 50 in July and my skin is already sagging . Ive been working out with a trainer since april and its still sagging ... however i do know that working out doesn't tighten the Skin... but it was worth a shot.. Then the happy thoughts .. I can't wait to have this new tool to help me with my weight loss Journey.. I've already lost 30 pd since I started my option classes in April and I feel soooo much better already and really looking forward to taking off 60 + more...

Good luck to everyone

Just look at sipping as just not taking huge drinks or gulps. In my first couple weeks I had to take baby drinks or sips but now at 5 weeks I can drink good amounts , I just can not gulp or drink fast like I used to. The gas pain sets in and you will stop trying to gulp....

Hello, I'm doing very well, Thank you . although I was having a hard time getting all the Protein and Water in the first few days. But the last two day I've been able to get in 60 grams of protein... Woot woot. Far as pain or bad gas none :) I'm a very happy camp. How are things with you?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
