Hi everyone, I am almost at the 3 month mark and feel like it is a big milestone. I am just wondering how everyone is going when they reach about this time.

I don't feel pain, indigestion type feeling when I eat anymore. I am still unsure at exactly what amount of food it ok, I definitely don't eat enough to be uncomfortable.

My loss has been approximately 1kg a week, steady. I have lost 26kg since pre-op and 20 kilos since surgery.

I am sleeping better but I wake up at about 4.00am every morning with a hungry feeling. I have been getting up and having Water and this settles it.

I have lost 4 dress sizes, this is mainly because I am a shorty,

I hope everyone else is having good success.

I'm so glad I found this thread- I was worried I hadn't lost enough because I'm only losing roughly a kilo a week and it didn't seem like quite enough. So good to hear its pretty normal!

How much is a kilo in pounds?

One kilo is 2.2 pounds. so 10kilos = 22 pounds

I hope that helps Miss Purple

I just recently had my 3 month post-op checkup with the surgeon and got the thumbs-up across the board. Even got cleared to eat raw fruits & veggies, and nuts and seeds, and breads, rice & pasta! Woohoo!

3+ months out, I can say this is easily the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have no doubt you all feel the same way as well. Congrats to all of you for your current and future successes! We deserve it.

Cheers,

~Pat

      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.
