So Ill be 3 months post op this month on the 18th and for the past week I've started feeling fat again..(I say that since that's the only way I can describe it, Im not feeling like I did right after surgery losing the weight) I feel like I look like I did 62lbs ago. I know I don't but I'm having that feeling all of a sudden and don't know why. Has this happened to anyone else?

Honestly, I have never felt fatter in the past couple of weeks. I think it's just our brain can't catch up with what our body is going through. I catch myself seeing my reflection and just think that can't be me, I'm not that small. Eventually I think it will but such a strange feeling.

I can relate. I'm almost 4 mos. out and down 60 lbs., but I didn't do the best on my eating this week. It's conference week at school and I've worked about 70-75 hrs. this week. That brought on snacking which I had been doing great on. It didn't help that my husband made homemade pumpkin granola and I'm due to start my period any day. I think the snacking brought back those feelings. I've felt like a failure the last 4-5 days. Happy to say I got somewhat back on track yesterday. I stuck to Protein and did no snacking. Unfortunately, I got the foamies after dinner and couldn't finish my day with my intended Protein shake. Calorie count for the day was under 500, which is too low.

      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.
