I am working hard to lose the 7 pounds I gained from last weigh in. Have until the 24 to do so. But don't think unless I get really drastic I can do it in a week I have lost maybe 2 pounds and that is with me upping my exercise and lowering calorie count to 1200 or below and drinking more then 64 ounces of Water. I am hoping some of it is that monthly thing I am on right now too

I gained 8 lbs from my first doc visit. I went a little crazy having my " lasts ". I finally got a grip by data entering every thing I ate into myfitnesspal . I was still eating Snacks etc and my doc wanted me to lose 35-40 lbs. I think i blogged an entry about my PLAN. Spent a few days just entering data, then eliminated Snacks, then low carb with a jump start with three days of Optifast . Still after reducing by 12 lbs and staying with the low carb no cheating ousted the scale at my surgeons office ( had used the one at my pcp) it said i gained 5 lbs. that pissed me right Off the diet into my old favs again ie sweets and carbs. My dr requires 2 weeks Optifast I am in day three and am back to 12 lbs eliminated. my doc appt was today and he said nothing about my wt just expressed approval of my two weeks of optifast.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
