I just have to tell everyone that I LOVE my new life. My quality of life is outstanding. I work out, my marriage is healthy and I'm having a blast with my 14 month old daughter. Every struggle that I have gone through since my surgery has been completely worth it. Don't ever give up, you will accomplish so much!

This is what I like to read!!! I read through good and bad but this kind of stories really encourage the journey that I am about to start.. My surgery is scheduled for March 11 and all I can say is I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I am sure I will have difficult days but I am so looking forward to a new me. I've been on and off diets my whole life, losing as much as 110 lbs on diet and exercise but have never been able to keep it off, so reading success stories reaffirms this is the right way to go!

When was your surgery and how much have you lost?

My paperwork goes to insurance on Monday. I am so excited and have been dreaming about what life will be like thin. I want to get down to 110 and haven't weighed even close to that since I was in my early 20's! So excited to shop at Victoria's Secret and wear beautiful heels, have more energy and everything! I feel the same way, I have lost over 100 pounds on my own throughout my life and now it is time to stop the yo-yo!

I love this post!!!!! My life has changed a lot too. I was 225 and could not walk. I.was wheel chair bound. I could not wipe my own butt very well. Things were so bleak, but after 4 months and 3 weeks I am 160, & dont need the scooter ,exercise some , and wear a size 7 juniors and medium shirts. I want to be 115, but if the weight liss stopped today I would live a hapoy comfortable life

      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.
