What kind of surgery did you all have and how long has it been for you?

I had gastric bypass on Sept 12, 2011 DVD I am down 95 pounds. I feel great!

I just thought I'd see if anyone on here was close by me. I am in Smithfield Nc, about 40 min east of Raleigh.

I had roux en y on April 3rd of this year. as of Wednesday I have lost 22 lbs since the surgery. My starting weight was 220 and I currently weigh 198. I have been in the hospital the past few days due to severe dehydration. I had strictures in my stomach and esophagus....I had a dilation procedure yesterday to correct it and I should be going home today. I think my weigloss has slowed down because of my not being able to eat or drink. That's awesome abut your results! I can't wait to see results like that!

      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.
