So I had my surgery Dec 16, 2013. I am now 5 1/2 months post op. My HW was approx 320 (although it was higher when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2011). My SW was 297. My CW is 241. I have had no complications, yay me! I have never dumped, yay me! The only thing i cannot tolerate is sugar, yay me! I'm

Protégé of WLS? Probably not. I am very lucky though. There are many days where i do feel like I am failing this amazing tool I have been given. Then, out of nowhere, another 5 pounds disappears. Amazing how the cycle works.

For me anyway - I will go through major Constipation and being severely gassy. I have come to terms with this is my bodies way of 'shedding its uneeded waste' then after an unknown amount of time, I GO POTTY!!! And I am on the losers bench for about a week straight. Then i return to the cycle of stallage, I call it. So for those out there who get discouraged, don't. Our tool does work!! Just don't forget to eat!

One thing though that seems to have me beat, is the fact that my body is in rough shape. It hurts so bad to try and be physically active. My low back is awful. I was hopeful that once i had lost my first 50#, that I could get on track and start a routine - however, 50# has come and gone - and I still cant excersize. I know I would probably almost be at goal if I could. I am ok with this though. My weight is coming off a bit slower than others - but I'd rather it come off a bit slower than so fast I mentally & physically cannot keep up. I do not have a whole lot of the saggy skin, and I am portraying this to losing on the slower side.

      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.
