Best decision ever



Recommended Posts

I like to say congrats to everyone who made this decision to have the surgery. Before my date (4-8-13) with the knife, I read so many success stories on this board. I couldn't wait to be one of u. I now am one of u. I went from 343 to 229 (weighted in this morn). I can't believe I lost 114lbs in 4 1/2 months. I have so much energy now that I've been running over 2 miles now for the last few weeks. Started off walking with little bursts of a jog. The effect it has had on my 3 boys is the reason I took this journey. We do some much together now that I tire them out lol. Good luck to everyone and never look back

Hey handsome :) I'm also glad I made this decision. I'm 14 months post up. I shouldn't lose anymore weight I'm already size zero. I want to stay between 115/125 I'm 124 according to the bariatric scale. (I wanna say that's a lie lolz) I was 122 in the regular md office but hey I'm slim who cares what the numbers are...

      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.
