Only lost one lb this past week but my monthly came yesterday so I'm grateful that I haven't gained anything...plus I'm still excited about my NSV this past week of fitting into a size 14...even though I couldn't afford to buy anything its nice to know that I've gone from a size 20 to a size 14 in 3 calendar months.

Congrats to everyone's accomplishments!: )

I know I'm a day late, but that is a running theme in my busy life. Lol

Surgery was April 25th and I was 250. Down now to 190. The strange thing about it, is I wear a size M. I think a lot of it has to do with being very active. I keep thinking the scale should read lower, and it always makes me a bit sad to see it doesn't. I'm glad I have this forum, because I have found since the surgery, I have next to no support. I had one friend who quit talking to me all together because she didn't want me to do of in the first place. I told her I couldn't stay that weight at 5'3" it was killing me. And my bf just looks at me and says "your still fat, and you took the easy way out." funny how alone it can make you feel when you have no one to talk to about it.

You're doing well chaotica! I know what you mean aboutno support. My sister in Az. Has not one time asked how I'm doing, feeling, nothing. She didn't want me to do it either, just like your friend. We're fortunate to have all of our friends here.

I had surgery 3 months ago and not once has my sister asked how I was doing or anything. I saw her in person for the first time since surgery 2 days ago and she never once commented on my appearance or anything. Surgery was a little over 3 months ago. I was a little disappointed but thank God I have you guys....I most definitely feel your alone ness. Other than my kids I have no one to talk to in real time so to speak. Thanks Alex for giving us this forum...

Glad to be here for you! I know how that can feel I've had people do that to me. It's usually one reason or another. A lot of time I've heard it was "they didn't approve" "they didn't know how to talk about it"

It's our job to show how open we are to talk about it. Or get those who can't, comfortable enough to talk. Hope this helps

      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.
