I had surgery on Aug. 1st. I'm down 27 pounds including the 9.8 pounds I lost on the 2 week pre-op diet. My weight on my day of surgery was 195.

I have been looking and looking for someone that was sleeved the same day as me and so happy to see someone! ! I am down 26lbs, I didn't have to do a pre diet if I had lost any weight my insurance wouldn't cover. I am doing good with most foods as long as I eat S L O W, I haven't tried much beef yet really just eating chicken, Beans and Soup and of course greek yogurt. I love the healthy choice frozen gree yogurt! ! Having been nauseous a lot idk why. Going to stay working out next week! !

Anyone else lose a few days then gain, it freaks me out? !?

sleeved on the 23rd, started at 207, now down to 185. i think i've had a harder time because 1) i have a low pain tolerance, and 2) i sprung some drainage in my belly button incision (ughh, stomach fold) and has been draining for the last week.

getting Protein is kind of hard because the Isopure drinks seem to coat my throat with a thick film and i haven't been able to keep down milky drinks (i'll get foamies). yesterday was the first day i had issues with feeling weak and dizzy, so that was new! :)

i'm looking forward to being drainage-free and non-acid-reflux soon!

Surgery 8/8/2013. Lost 9 lbs on pre-op diet and have lost 21 since surgery for a total of 30. Have stopped losing for about 10 days now and am getting nervous. Have been losing inches though. I am just now starting to exercise, so hopefully that will help get the scale going in the right direction. Feel hungry about every 2 hours, but some on this site say it could be acid, so I am going to try Prilosec to see if that stops it. Having headaches almost every day and still tired, but feel good in general.

      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.

      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.
