@@Lazy_Lizzy, you should update your stats to reflect your current weight.

I use my phone to read the messages and I don't think it can be done from here and in on a computer one in a while I will try to update when I'm on :)

Hey all! 4 weeks out, 10/13/2014, down 43lbs. 68lbs total since July.

Yes the weight has come off, however been experiencing post nasal drip, really didn't eat at all for the first 23 days, about 60g of Protein in, and about 40 oz of liquids, had to get IV's the 2nd week due to dehydration.

HOWEVER, past 3 days have been better.. More liquids, eating 2-3 times a day, 65g of Protein, more energy, finally back in the gym, feeling better. Gotta start somewhere :)

Crystal, that is astonishing. Do you feel weak? Hopefully it will slow down some now. My doctors two month goal for me is 35 pounds, lol.

Great loss and im glad your energy is coming back. Are you any sublingual B12, if so how much and what frequency?

Getting ready to head into the urgent care. Woke up with extreme abdomen, back and groin pain. Almost positive its a kidney stone. I've had them years ago (drank to much mountain dew back in the day) but its a pain you dont forget.

No I don't feel weak at all actually but Im scared I'll start to. When do we start B12?

My supplement regimen began my second week post op. This includes a weekly sublingual B12 of 1000mcg.

@ So strange! I don't have to take anything other than a daily multi Vitamin. Wonder why this is different for me.

@@rmspencer, in my experience I have seen varying degrees of differences from surgeon to surgeon; from pre op to post op procedures. Also keep in mind that the individuals helping us have blood work and other vital information to help tailor a nutritional plan for us. Early in the process they are likely generating baselines and as we progress our diets and nutritional, supplemental and mineral intake can change.

      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.
