ok i know this is the 100+ weight loss goal thread but i'm a 200+ goal weight loss

i havent had the surgery I've just been reading the stories to know what im in for if i get the surgery from the people who've had it. so all though im only 20 and weigh 400 pounds iwould like to know how it felt when they put you under

was it like sleeping or did it feel like time went by in a flash

and if you ladies have had any shoe size changes widht or size

Liz the sleep is the bet sleep ever. You won't even remember. My shoe size hasn't changed but they do feel too big. Maybe my feet are getting skinny.

I'm three weeks out today from gastric bypass... I've lost 40 pounds... Down 2 shirt and bra cup sizes. My feet are also skinnier! I have about another 110 pounds to loose. I know what size I want to be... Don't care much about the weight. I just want to be healthy! This is MY year to focus on me and get healthy!! I'm amazed at how quickly the weight came off... I have started to platau but one I'm cleared for actual exercise... I'm sure it will start falling off again!! So glad I found this app! All the threads have been such a great help! I love reading all of them! God Bless you all on your journeys!!

You're doing great Mel!

Man I sure hope I can start this journey next month. I've had two rejections from my insurance so far. I see my PCP to in a few weeks and hopefully will get the final qualification the insurance wants.

What is the hold up? I'm so blessed that my insurance was so easy. I just did the few things the dr told me to do and then I had surgery it was sort of a world wind.

I'm going to the same thing. Insurance company wants six months of weight watchers. But I have everything else completed so it looks like my surgery will be in September. I am truly looking forward to this and I really appreciate everyone out there for what they're writing.

Hi Ken, Insurance has been something else. Two denials for me. I just got the 2nd letter today. Three things left to get done I guess. I can't see my PCP until June 22 so they had to post pone my surgery. She's away on vacation and the covering provider won't give me the "medical release" they want from her. Stinks!

But.....in will come in time.

I had my surgery on Aprial 17th 2012. The day of surgery I weighted 340 pounds. Today tree months later I weigh 262 pounds. That is almost 70 pounds and I'm excited about it! I can feel the difference and see it too. My goal weight is 160 but will be more then happy to get to 175-180. I'm 5'9" tall so I feel anything lighter would make me look sick. Congrats to everyone that is well on their weight loss goals!! Keep up the hard work!!

      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.
