I had my surgery in March of 2012. I must say its been a pretty easy ride for me. I did get sick a few times in the beginning from not chewing enough or eating something my pouch didn't like. But I wouldn't change a thing about this journey.

I still have about 10lbs to lose and they're fighting me every step of the way lol! But I'll get them off :)!

Hi Tammy.

Glad to see you on here for an update. I'm 11 months and I've lost 100 pounds. I'm struggling now to keep losing, so I'm going through a major stall. I'm still 30 to 50 pounds away from my goal.

I had my surgery March of 2011. I started at 289 and am at 162. I still see myself as heavy, and I am very very scared I am getting to relaxed and will go back to being heavy again. I am 39 yrs old and don't want to go back where I was.

      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.
