I went for my 9 month post op visit yesterday.....everything checks out fine I've lost 102 lbs, blood levels are good. No nausea,vomitting or issues with the pouch. I am feeling fantastic, loads of energy, loving the new me!! and the new lifestyle of daily gym visits, not being a slave to the food around me. It's nice to finally have some normal habits like I have always seen healthier people have.

I want to make my goal by Oct 6th (my 45th birthday)....but with the stall I've been in since April not sure I'll make it. But I am dang sure gonna give it a go. I have finally started moving down again, lost inches...but the weight wasnt moving. I changed up my exercise routine and eating a little different and now it's going down again!

My family has been so supportive, friends have "donated" clothing and I am happier than I have been in years!

I sincerely hope those who are just starting out or just had surgery hang in there!! It is well worth the little pain for this journey! It's amazing! I wish you all as easy of a time as I have had so far!

:)

      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.
