Hello everyone!

Yesterday's was my 4 months post-op, initial WT 270lbs HT 5' 6", today's WT 187lbs so far ha lost 83lbs, can't wait to hit my ideal wt of 140lbs off-course if my body decides to get there lol. I will take 160lbs but I would like a wt that will allow me to go up and down a bit and not to worry about and I think 140lbs is the perfect goal for it!

Hello ShrinkingDEE,

Well my wls journey has been "so far" great (knock on wood). I really can't complaint, no complications at all. I been following all the instructions - bible!! The ONLY thing is that 3wks ago I started to loss my hair which it's was to expect and there's nothing we (wls pts) can do to prevent it other than PRAYERS & follow the MD orders! So I been concentrating on my Protein intake (food wise/not shakes) and keeping myself well hydrated and hoping for the best. The good thing is that I have very thick hair and that is a PLUS in this situation.

Yeah RayBan glasses rock! :)

I started losing my hair too. It has slowed down a whole lot. I have a lot of hair too. You can only tell that it's coming out when I comb it. Thank God.

      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.
