Hello,

I am 41 days out of surgery, and 33 pounds down. I love every minute of every day. I still have some hard times but, over all it's going great.

So, how old are you? How long are you out of surgery? && what are your biggest struggles?

I'm 27 and a year out May 7th. Life has been great :-D but my biggest struggle is head issues. Seeing the new me... I still see the 360lb me. Getting over emotional eating.

Hi! I'm 9 months out on the 25th. Down 146lbs. Married with a 3 year old, I work full time, grad student (graduating May 3rd!!!!!) and have been working a second job in my career field 20 hrs a week. Please don't ask me how I do it.... Only God knows!!! Lol so with all that said... Getting all my Protein in, staying hydrated, and keeping an exercise routine has been so hard. I make sure everything I eat has Protein. I always have a case of Water in the trunk, and Im always walking, hiking, and keeping busy when I have down time with my munchkin. Life under 250 lbs is great compared to misery at 389 lbs.

Surgery date 7/25/12

      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.
