Hey sharon. Just got on this site and saw all your posts. Sorry! I was sitting way in the back. Last row in a grey sweater. I was secretly glad he didnt show up last night. Lol I was sleepy. I took lots of notes last night. Very informative class. :)

Just checking to see how everyone's process is going so far...

As for me, I'm 8 weeks post op and down 37 pounds, 68 pounds overall. I lost about 60 pounds last year on my own, but then gained half of it back.

Hi Crystall88, I had surgery on the 18th and went in on Dec 24th for post-op. At this appointment I was down 14 pounds since my surgery date. I'm feeling pretty good so far. I'm back at work next Monday and not too sure how I will feel after a full day.

Congrats on your progress!

Congratulations Rosemarie!!

I don't know what sort of job you have, but I hope you have a great first week back! i have a sedentary job, so I was fine. My boss continues to ask me how I am doing and feeling, I think PART of the reason is because a former co-worker had WLS too about 5 years ago (gastric bypass though) and she was constantly ill.

      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.
