WELL DONE!

I wanted to click mention on all the post, but I am sure ya'll will read it...congrats on your weight loss, and if your not telling yourself how proud you are OF yourself...I will tell you..for you..I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU.

I am due for surgery the day before Thanksgiving, any and all advise is useful to me right now as my nervous/excitement/anxiety level kicks in high gear.

I am one that does good with...just tell me what to do...and I will do it...I have a leadership type personality..but when it comes to this...nothing has worked thus far in the past trying to take control over weight issues...so now..I just want to be told what to do....and that is what I will do.

So if any of you have the time....can you walk me through one of your average daily food menus and what kind of exercise you are doing. I would greatly appreciate it.

I have had some awesome dreams of succeeding with this gift (sleeve) but I have also had some nightmares of me failing. Is this normal behavior pre-op?

Almost 5 months and down 70 pounds. Not only is the difference obvious on the outside, but I am feeling great inside too. No more aches and pains. No more high cholesterol. No more CPAP machine. The benefits of this surgery are unbelievable to me. This was the best decision I have ever made!

Eclectick, I believe that the majority of us fear failure for brief moments before survey! Why, the one thing we had been successful with, was our diet failures!!! I am 12 days post op. I have ready to drink and powders on hand, along with broths, cream Soups and sf Popsicles. The salty broths are a nice reprieve from the sweet shakes and adding a little pepper adds more flavor and less " oh great, broth again" feelings. Swanson has flavored broths. I used tortilla flavor (fairly spicy for tummy) with cream of chicken and it was very good. The have hot and sour, Tuscany... Just nice changes. I also suggest Syntrax Nectar. I like fuzzy navel, and heard good things of caribbean cooler. Mix up the night before so it is good and cold. 46 Protein with two scoops. I add more Water and ice and drink that throughout the morning or afternoon. Good luck

Hi! I am almost 9 months out. Down about 100lbs (254 to 155), from a size 20/22 to a 8/10 pants, 2xl/3xl to a med/large top. I NEVER thought the surgery would be this successful. I am 100% happy with where I am now (weight wise). My friends are actually telling me to stop loosing weight. I have to agree, I can see my collar bone, it's not pretty. I need to focus on toning. I never thought I would say that!!! I wouldn't trade this surgery for anything!! Congratulations everyone on your 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.
