I'm down 80 pounds since August 30, 2013. Feeling much better since I started exercising.

Hey everyone.. well for my wife and I, it has been almost 5 months since surgery. I am down 102 lb and my wife is down 85 lb.. she has hit the 67% and I'm 54% our surgeon is amazed at our progress.. When you hit 75% you have Reached the surgery success rate.. not your ideal weight but the fact that surgery was successful. Most don't hit that till 18 months out. I'm posting pics hopefully they go through. Lol. We're able to eat most anything. Except tuna, eggs, and milk. Boiled egg in salad seems to be ok. Other than that our lab work has been ok except Iron. So we are taking ferrous fumarate now.. other than that everything else is great. Oh we have also added Biotin because we are def starting to loose our hair.. that is a bit disappointing but hey its the risk you take I guess. Hope everyone is doing great.

Before and after photos

      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.
