Wow it had been a long time!! I'm sorry for being away but hope to start posting again soon!! I see so many are doing great and it really is inspiring to see your posts. As for me life has been crazy. As many of you already know my goal was to become a critical care flight paramedic and after WLS I achieved that goal. To that end my life had been nuts since then but I am doing awsome!! I am down from 330lbs to 195. I get 80-100 grams of Protein a day and I am loving life in the new me! I still eat like I am supposed to And while there is always challenges I am living the lifestyle change. Here a few photos for y'all! I look forward to posting more soon! Love you all!

The first pic is pre op and I am the guy in the yellow tie the rest.... Well as you can tell the old me threw up the guy that was inside!

It's amazing to me to find this thread... I have always dreamed of being a helicopter pilot especially ems... But always knew I would never be able to meet the seat weight requirements... Now that I've had surgery this past dec 10 and am already down 80 lbs I feel like this is something I could actually achieve... My wife isn't gung ho mainly because flight school is expensive and she's worried about my safety but we made a deal that when I hit 200 lbs I would take up to 3 flight lessons and then decide if I wanted to truly make a career out of it... You are truly a very personal inspiration to me man I'm so glad I found you... I currently weigh 296 started at 376... 80 down 96 to go

      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.
