I'm in the pre op stage have completed the requirements, just waiting for everything to get sent to my surgeon, and then get it into insurance my surgeon thinks August. My highest weight was 360, and that was last May after moving to a new town since then I worked out for 1 hour and 45 minutes, have had set backs with injuries to my ankle not once but twice, and my bulging disc flared up and wasn't able to work or workout, but didn't let it get me down only gained a couple pounds, but have lost that. Went to see the surgeon couple weeks and was 321 today I weighed myself I was 314. It helps that I see a dietitian. The hospital wanted me to lose 30 pounds and I have gone past that, really going to help when I get a chance to get exercising again, right know I'm doing pt, and hoping to be done with that tomorrow. For people that are thinking of getting gastric bypass, I recommend doing as many dietitian appoints you can even if your insurance doesn't require it. You learn a lot, and lose weight, it then shows your insurance that you can lose weight, and keep it off. Good luck to anyone that is pre op or post op.

Lapband removed and bypass on 3/6/13. HW 265, date of surgery weight 230, weight today 190.5. I'm 34 and 5'6".

Things r going well. Except I seem to b slipping back into old sugary eating habits. It scares me. And I can eat more than I should b able to. Still super happy I had the surgery.

I'm still in the pre-op phase. Going to get my feedback from the psych eval next week and my last NUT appt is the 19th. Then we'll submit to insurance and play the waiting game :/. My highest was over 330 as of March 2012. I got down 280 and now I'm 285. Trying to lose 10lbs before my last NUT visit via the Pre-Op diet.

      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.
