I have already had my 1 year anniversary, having lost just over 100 lbs. I had the full gastric bypass. I hope you all have a good outcome with your surgery, no, I'm not saying I had a bad experience...I'm just wishing you all good luck. Your body will go through a lot of changes. Your taste buds go through a change, things may taste different, and things you use to like, you may not like them anymore. It really changes your whole body chemistry. I found that out the hard way. Also, (not saying this will happen to you) I have a problem that causes me to be able to eat something I like and I will be ok. However, I can eat the same thing another time and it may upset my stomach. Strange, I know, but I have no idea what is causing it. And, you really do need to drink the amount of Water they say. I have worked out too. My insurance actually provided me with a workout video that I could do at home, and yes, it has worked on me. However, I still have sagging skin, and now have to try to get my insurance to get the excess skin taken in. I have to have a doctor referral. I pray this doesn't happen to any of you. You can only tone up but so much by exercising.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
