1 month out tomorrow and I feel great! I'm down 34 pounds total (14 in 3 weeks pre-op & 20 in 4 weeks post op). I'll be starting back to tennis next week. I've ditched 2 clothing sizes. Dr. hubby who was against surgery has been VERY nice. I can drink liquids easily & am tolerating most meats. Life is good :)

Surgery 8/6 and down 19 pounds since surgery.

Other than the nausea for the last 7 days, doing fantastic (am in touch with the dr's about the nausea and have changed up some things....have my 1 month appointment on Monday)

I couldn't believe the difference on Tues. when I resumed my exercise regimen at the gym....so much easier to do things, much more range of motion.....go figure LOL

August 23rd for me, as of Monday was down 17 pounds plus the 12 I lost on the 10 day pre-op diet. I don't have any hearburn, gas or pain. I am pretty much sticking to the shakes with maybe a youghurt or cottage cheese per day. I have to eat and drink VERY slowly and it takes me close to an hour to finish an 8-oz glass of Water. I feel very good though, lots of energy, doing lots of walking.

Surgery on 8/6 and down 19 lbs. Wishing I was loosing faster, but trying to go with the flow! I think maybe I am getting too many carbs as I have been eating my chicken salad on melba toast. But it seems to be the only way I can get it down. Had horrible acid at first I mistook for hunger pains. Now I don't have much appetite, but still have some hunger, if that makes sense.

      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.
