Hello everyone, my name is Kyle I'm from St. Louis. I'm 26 and I had gastric bypass October 17, 2012. At my heaviest I weighed 530lbs and the day of surgery i weighed 495. As of today I currently weigh 305lbs. I have 90lbs to go till I hit my goal weight. I look forward meeting and talking with fellow wls peeps. lol

The pic on the left is a few days before surgery and the one on the right is 6 months. I don't really have any current pics, but i'm sure i'll post more a one year.

Oh ok. I haven't had a problem with the staff but the wait is a factor. I got someone else's early date when they cancelled.

Welcome Kyle. I had my surgery in April. My son is 22 and is having gastric bypass in September. He was 486, as far as he knows, at the highest. He has always been big and was a huge football player throughtout his school years. I think he really became motivated to lose once that part of his life was over. He started losing on his own before deciding to have the surgery. He just hit the 390's! I have tried to get him to join here but he hasnt yet. You look awesome, congrats on your success and best wishes!

      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.
