I don't remember. I will tell you this. I'm at 5 1/2 months and I've lost 100. I kept thinking in the beginning that this wasn't going to work for me, I was going to fail at another weight loss attempt, I'm going to be fat forever, my body hates me, I hate my body blah blah blah. I stressed and worried and asked people if they thought I was losing enough....we're all different and I don't think any of us will ever feel we're losing enough or as much as others and so on.

BUT: I've lost 100 pds. I couldn't do that on my own. I've done it in less than 6 months and chances are, you probably will too. Or at least comparable to that. I've been watching all my April post op buds and we're all pretty much about the same *give or take a few*

So, I guess them rambling post was just a "don't worry about it. You and your body are going to be fine and if you've lost any...it's working". :) Hope that helps

Thank you guys I've lost about 37 lbs so far but I've been stuck at one weight for 3 weeks literally goes down a lb. then back up so I'm worried because I'm not having problems eating anything ... I have huge limitation of course but as long as I chew well I'm able to eat...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
