I had my gastric bypass on July 10,2014. I am feeling great. I suppose my biggest problems right now are fighting my own demons. I have this terrible fear of failure. I am so afraid if I eat to much I am going to stretch my pouch and gain my weight back. I am doing well right or feel like I am. I am down 33lbs so far and feeling great. I have started only allowing myself to weigh once a week in Friday's. So tomorrow is the day I see how I have done for the week and I am not feeling like I did much at all this week. I didn't realize that I would have so many fears and emotions about things after the surgery. :blush:

I too have the same feeling Sabrina. I always second guess myself after I eat something. Did I eat too much? Am I stretching my pouch? Am I full? I NEVER eat the entire egg, piece of fish, piece of chicken, etc.

I have decided not to weigh myself everyday, as well. I have become a slave to the scale. I would weigh myself every morning and if it didn't move I would be miserable ALL day. I have decided once a week is good. I just can't put myself thru the torture :-/

Keep up the good work!!

Down a little more than 100lbs. Still losing,but it's slowed a lot. I've found myself slipping with my diet now and again. Its hard getting all the protien in with out supplements, but I can't handle anything with artifical flavors anymore. Lots of fresh meat and veggies.

July 22, 2014 here! I am down 80 lbs and still losing a little bit - just a pound here & there. I feel great, better than I have in years. I was really hesitant about doing this but with so many comorbidities, it was just the best way to help. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 12 and really enjoy shopping in the regular size clothes rather than the women's larger sizes. Best part? I will not be the overweight mother at my daughter's wedding this Saturday! Loving life!

That's great!!! I think most of us have slipped now and then. I know I'm guilty of it. When you are still losing, it's easy to slip. I'm with you on the Protein thing. I can't tolerate most of the protein supplements, so I have to stick to meat and dairy. I wish you continued success!!!

That's awesome!! The main reason I did this was so I would feel better. Not so much look better, although that's a major plus, but I feel so much better!!! I never enjoyed shopping before, now I love it! Congrats and I wish you continued success!!

      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.
