Hi every one my name is jackie and i am 8 years yes years post op and dont regret it at all. It is life changing but worth it. Pre op i was 270 ils and am now had have been 148 for a few years i even had my 2 child 4years out of surgery and stayed healthy during the pregnacy and was able to loose the extra weight which i am not gona lie scared me. I now enjoy getting dressed up and going to parties not to mention vacations but most of all i now enjoy my life and no longer obsess on how heavy i am. I wish you all much success and congrats on getting approved. Ps there will be days in the beginning that you may say why did i do this but stick threw it that part is only temporary. And the long term is so worth it.

Hang in there. The antibiotics made me so sick. I guess so there's nothing in your stomach. Good luck on your surgery. You'll be fine.

My name is Donna and I had the gastric bypass on aug 20, 2010 it was the best decision I have made in getting my life back on track and I'm down 214 pounds thus far with about another 100 pounds I would like to loose yet. But my energy level is trough the roof now and I'm doing things I haven't been able to do in years.

      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.
