Hello all! I'm 32 mother of one! Weight has always been my obstacle however I have always been able to control it with diet and excercise.

After having my son I am unable to lose the weight I put on --- I'm still 40 lbs heavy from before I got pregnant and 60 lbs away from my goal weight. I recently saw a specialist who said I was an ideal candidate for gastric bypass --- I weigh 195 and am 5'1" --- I have no health issues except the weight I carry -- looking dr someone in a similar body weight and height who has gone through this!!!

My intentions wasn't to be tiny in fact I just didn't want to be a plus size woman. I think I'm at the right weight now should be 122(haven't weight last week) I want more meat on my face.

Mami, that's funny. My original intention was not to be as small as you, but I may turn out that way. I told my surgeon I would be happy at 150 and he's like "no no no no no" we can do better!

      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.
