I'm 5 weeks out and have three boys ages 11, 6, and 1. It has been challenging for me and I'm exhausted! I work and am in the last 3 months of school! Crazy life. Hopefully we can motivate each other!

Honestly my recovery was super easy. I felt 95% back to normal on day 3. I have 3 kiddos and we run a couple businesses. I have much more energy than ever before.

I think you will be amazed at how well you will do. Today I climbed up a

3 story circular enclosed tube slide to play with my toddler. Them preceded to enjoy going down the slide. I still remember when I used to freak out if the kids got hurt on one of those massive playgrounds. I knew I wouldn't be able to fit inside and go after my child. Now, I did it for fun!

Hi! I'm 3mos from surgery and am down a little over 50lbs (72.5lbs) all together. I have a 14yo and a 9yo. Can I count my hubby he's 33;)? lol we just moved to Washington DC for a job promotion about a month after my surgery....it's been insane! Trying to establish our routines in a new place and me having a new job, with new eating habits! It's been hard and frustrating but also wonderful and liberating. I have so much more energy and for the first time in my daughters life-I slid down the slide with her! Twice! Sometimes my family can't keep up with me now!

My daughter is 13 and she is super excited to have me be skinny again and she said she will love shopping for clothes with me and being able to do fun stuff with me when I'm a normal weight. She and I already share Entrees at restaurants so that wont be a big change.

      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.
