Pre surgery I was 405lb, now I'm 177lb. If it happens for you it will take some getting used to lol. I had to find a new center of balance & get used to no beinng able to "put my weight into it" like pushing someone's stalled car out of traffic...

Good luck! :o)

My doctor says it seems like men loose more, or faster only due to them being taller, biggest tip us to stay away from sugar drinks , and you would be suprised how many calories are in mixed alchol drinks. If you have any questions just ask

Just take it slow bro, you have your whole life ahead of you for that piece of steak!!! Don't rush through the stages. I ate split pea Soup 3 times a day for 2 months, mostly due to my taste buds being so wacky. Any questions just ask! I wish I knew of this app when I was going through it! Good luck bro!

      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.
