Hello fellow Marchies! Hope everyone is doing well and the pounds and inches are melting off.

Surgery was March 24th. 39 lbs gone... I promised myself the first 40 lbs I lost I was going to do something for me on my bucket list. Excited to say I booked my trip to Central America(Belize) for a week in June. Very excited!!! I wish everyone's surgery could be as smooth as mine has been. Feeling Blessed!!!

It seems so strange to want things I never really liked before my surgery. I find myself wanting coffee and salty things. Before I might have drank coffee maybe one cup every 3-4 months and never liked salty things.

Post op weight loss 65lbs surgery was 3-7 :)

I'm doing well. Down 58lbs from my preop diet. I've been hitting the gym hard the past two weeks and I'm building up a lot of strength and stamina.

great job! Indeed it is strange how the taste buds change, I hated green Beans now, I eat them a few times a week.

Just wondering what Vitamins you guys are taking. My doc. Has me on prenate elite and ferocon. I alternate days taking them, so far all blood work is good. Oh, I'm down 50lb surgery date 3-17, inches coming of nicely and building muscle mass so I'm pleased. Keep up the good work all.

Oh I also do the B12 shot once a month! All is well, I'm down 40 from surgery and I believe a total of 94lbs. My quality of life has already improved so much. Another 100 to go but hey I'm halfway there!

      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.
