HI everyone!!! Sorry for the tremendous radio silence on my end. For some reason notifications stopped coming into my email so I've been missing out. Just a quick update:

1) still have some food that bothers me, but mostly I'm ok and trying lots of new things

2) I drink ginger ale and Water like it's going out of style; doc said ok to the ginger ale as long as I do it slow and not iced cold

3) tmrw will be 11 weeks post op and I'm ~ 30#s down.

4) just sharing a before and after. The before was from a week or so pre surgery and the post is from today.

RMSpencer,

You look great! How do you feel about the change? Do many people comment on your loss? I love those shoes!

@@Peekboo I sometimes feel like I can see or feel a difference and then other times when I'm feeling less positive. Some people notice and others don't, or at least don't say anything.

I have basically the same feelings. I have only had 2 people at work say something about my loss and they know I had the surgery so they may be trying to be nice. In a way its good because im not getting a lot of questions. Im just happy not to be in the 200 range anymore.

It seems crazy to me that you've lost over 35lbs and no one's said anything! I have the same reaction because I'm over 30lbs down and it's kind of like... I've lost 30 POUNDS people!! Can't you tell?? hahaha

I know. It makes wonder if it's really noticeable yet. But I really see a big difference in your pictures. I will look and see what I can find to post a before and after. I never did much pic taking though :-)

      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.
