Today I am 2 months post op and 51lbs down since surgery on October 14, 2013. I've been working really hard on my nutrition and my exercise program. My arms have definition now and I'm walking like i'm sexy again LOL. It's really surreal that It's me who is and has made all these changes in my life. WOW!

Incredible job! I'm not near that rate of loss. I had surgery at the end of June and am around 65 lbs down. What are you doing to have such awesome results?

I'm only at the gym a few hours per week (personal trainer 2X/week). I count all my calories and still don't exceed more than 1,000 per day most of which come from Proteins, but my carbs get up around 70 per day. It's a sloooooow process. :l

Thanks for sharing!

Hey Deb thanks for responding 65 lbs down since surgery is awesome! My surgeon told me that I my weight loss will slow down down over the next 3 months. That being the case i walk a 4 miles a day 2 in the morning and 2 at night NO MATTER WHAT! That along with seeing my trainer 3xs per week, and of course my main tools my doggie Jackson, & (Sleevenstein) the weight is coming off constantly. Now I make sure i get my 80 to 100 grams of Protein in everyday. I've learned that you have to bump up your caloric intake when you are working out or your body will hold on to the weight; well that's my non scientific explanation lol. Keep pushing Deb we got this for the rest of our healthy lives. Go go go!

      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.
