great poll. I am trying to figure out the balance of what I need to eat now to maintain and not lose anymore. Its such a weird feeling to not try and lose anymore. To some 154 lbs is still alot... but I am almost 5'8" and wearing a size 8 and med shirts and that is small enough for me. I dont want to look sickly and I feel better than I have in years. Thanks so much for this sight Alex... I dont know what I would have done without the support I have gotten on here!!!!

Just had my band removed last Thursday and had staples removed today. Spoke with the surgeon, going for the bypass, the gold standard, plus the fact of the research regarding type II diabetes. It would be great just to get off insulin.

I am four days post op. Weight day of surgery was 220lbs, weight after was 233lbs. Today I weigh 229lbs. The extra weight was from all the fluids they gave me during and after surgery. I am dealing with gas issues right now - not painfull, just loud. Post op pain is minimal.

      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.
