Hello! My name is Nicole :) I have been overweight most of my life. I've lost some before, but always yo-yoed.Before my surgery I weighed in at 300.4 pounds- the heaviest I've EVER been. My surgery was July 31, 2012. It's been about 2 & 1/2 months and I now weigh 259 pounds. It sees to be coming off really slowly for me. Is it just me who feels that way?

welcome and congrats on the loss. It might seem slow but it is coming off and that is the important thing. Just keep following the plan your doc has set out for you. drink your fluids, get your Protein in, and step by step day by day it will come off.

I am waiting for insurance approval for revision from a lap band (had for seven years) to rny. I just never lost very much or kept it off with the band. And it didn't help with any of my health conditions, like diabetes and asthma.

I am hoping to get approved very soon so I can get healthier.

      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.
