Hi everyone my name is Tricia. I'm 34 and have 2 children. I started my weight loss journey in June at 244lbs. I am at 230 now. The hardest part for me was quitting smoking. But my surgery is this monday!

Congrats! I'm currently waiting for my insurance to authorize my surgery. The office won't schedule until approval which has been difficult for me to deal with. I commend you for quitting smoking. You have your eye on the prize! I hope that you have a smooth surgery and good recovery. New year...brand new you!

Take Care :)

Congrats to you!!!! Quitting smoking was made up the day of my seminar. I didn't want anything to interfere with my surgery. My procedure was done Dec 3 and so far so good. Good luck to you on Monday.

I'm not sure what I weigh now...Weighed in at my surgeon's office at 212 on Halloween, and won't weigh in again til my next visit later this month. Was so worried about stalls, I figured I'd just save myself the stress, do what I need to do, then be pleasantly surprised (I hope) at my next visit.

So I'm all done. Surgery was yesterday morning and went great. No issues. My heart rate has been going up a bit. I had some broth tonight. And off the iv. I had an oral tylenol, and couldn't keep the Water down. The pills luckily stayed in. I've been walking to/from the bathroom on my own. And around the wing a few times. No real pain, just discomfort.

      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.
