As of today, I am 242.6. My surgery weight was 298.8... my clothes size had not changed much and I have not lost a pound in over a month... if you lovely people don't mind may I get some advice on working out and what some of your daily meals consist of? I also have frequent headaches b and nothing upsets my stomach... also not going #2 regularly

I'm preggo now so not sure this is gonna hold true for me anymore but I really seemed to see the most results when I started light cardio and weight training. The weights really seemed to start reshaping my body. Flax seeds are amazing for the constipation! Haven't not been constipated in over a month. I take the caps as well as buy the whole flax seeds and sprinkle them in my yogurt and pretty much anything else. A light nutty taste that's pretty good. Seems to have made my belly less bloated as well. Hope that helps! Good luck

      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.
