3 months post op

Highest weight 305

Day of surgery 290

Cw 219

Day of surgery I was on 11 different meds doctor wanted me on a Insulin pump my A1C was 10.9 I had high blood pressure, gout, acid reflux, bad knees and a bad leg, my back hurt all the time as well as my feet Hell I hurt all over.

My waist was 46-48 .

To day I'm down 86 lbs from the start of my journey 71 lbs from surgery and my A1C just came back at 6.0. Today I'm wearing pants that are 38 waist I went from a 2x-3x shirt today I'm wearing a large to XL.

My trainer at the gym has grounded me from the weight room till I can do 1 hour of cardio what good is muscle if your heart quits working.

I'm off all 11 meds don't need Insulin and I feel GREAT my back, my knees, my feet don't hurt any more. I do like the way I'm looking and so does my wife.

Would I do this again NO because I'm not getting FAT ever again.

Would I recommend this to any one YES I WOULD it's the best thing you could ever do for your self and the ones you love.

56 lbs to target weight

      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.
