I want the thinner healthier ME back. It's so depressing to see how much I lost then gained then lost then gained back. I cannot wait for July to be sleeved and work hard to change me and end this cycle of yoyo weight!

Hi jdillon, I understand exactly what you are saying. I was on the weight loss pills and got down to 198 lbs but as soon as I stopped taking those pills the weight I loss came right back and a couple more lbs. People think obesity people lay around and eat all day but that is not the case. They don't understand how hard it is to carry all this weight. I pray everything will go well with your surgery in July.

I know, you're right! My lowest was 135lbs. (The Halloween pic with my son just about 4 years ago) and the highest was 220lbs. I'm at 209lbs right now. I feel like a failure so bad. I want out of this body! Thank you, I hope surgery is a success in July too! How about you, where are you in your journey?

I haven't started my journey and I will tell you why. My current weight is 222 lbs; I have lupus and high blood pressure. I went a couple of weeks ago to have scans done on my kidneys. Once I go to the doctor to get those results then I will decide on my next move. I wanted the lap band but having lupus I know that is not an option because my body would reject the foreign object. Now I'm looking into having the sleeve. I am just tired of the doctors telling me if I lose weight my blood pressure will be fine. They don't have a clue how hard it is to lose this weight. I don't want to have WLS because I'm lazy I just need some help. I'm tired of being tired and not having any energy to do nothing. I just need some help.

Me too. I had my gallbladder removed on the 11th of last month. I'm tired of weight health related issues. It sucks. Good luck. I hope all works out well for you!

      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.
