Had my surgery 11/29 I started out at 252lbs and I'm down to 164. It's been quite the journey some days better then others. Over all I'm so glad I has the gastric bypass surgery. I tell everyone that it was the best choice I ever made. I feel so much better and my blood pressure is under control. I am continuing my journey:-)

Start walking, it's best thin you can do. Also, the best advice I was given and I am going to give to you is follow your doctor and nutritionist orders. It's very important. I had some hard times with Vitamins but I am good now. Everyone is different and try not compare yourself with anyone. Your on you own new journey. Best of luck to you!

I go in spurts with the exercise. In the beginning walking is the best. I walked everyday or the gas would kill me. I would take my time and many breaks but if I didn't walk then I would be in pain. I found if I worked out he weight flew off. Now that I'm working more I have been slacking off my exercising but I need to get back into it. I did a 5k a few weeks ago. I walked most of it but ran the end. I felt great and I can't wait to do it again!

That's great! I agree with you it does feel wonderful. I am starting to train for a 1/2 marathon in September. I was going to for the flying pig in Cincinnati next may but found out it the same weekend the twins recieved Holy Communion. I am just happy I found another one though. I perfer to walk right know. I already had 2 operations on my knees when I was younger.

      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.
