Doing great so far....ill be 10 weeks post op this week and I'm currently down 75 lbs (25 lbs lost pre op). Feel excellent! How about you?

That is an awesome loss!! I am 2 months tomorrow and down 26lbs. (maybe more I will weigh tomorrow morning) However, this was a revision for me. I had an RNY in 2004. Revision to RNY 6/28/12. I feel great and went back to work after 1 week 2 days. (I have a sit down job) I need to get better with my exercise. Have you contacted Joe for your exercise consultation?

Yes had my consult on Saturday.

How was the consultation? How long was it? I found the paper with the next support group date of 9/6/12 at 6pm It is at North East Heath and Fitness Institue 1090 NorthEast Gateway Court in Concord.

I won't be able to go to that one as there is a meeting at the children's school that night.

It lasted about an hour....he has you do a walking test to see how much your heart rate and bp goes up. Then he shows you some toning exercises with the bands, tubes and ball. Also goes over how many cals you burn per minute doing certain activities at your current weight. He was really nice....nice to look at too ;-)

      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.
