I had my surgery 26 years ago. I've gained a lot back. It's my own fault. I live in an area where I did not have any follow up after my surgery. I lost ove100 pounds. After years I slowly forgot I even had the surgery. Since joining this forum I've relearned how to eat properly. Not to drink after eating. And to foloow the guideline it makes a Hugh difference. My weight is once again going back down. Using the tolls given iam successful again

Update: As of this morning I have officially met my own personal goal of 150 pounds!! I am almost 11 months post op. I am surprised that I have lost the weight so quickly. My family and I have a vacation planned to go to Cedar Point in the near future as a kinda reward for sticking with this. I love roller coasters!! I have attached a couple pics. The 1st is from my bridal shower in 2012 and the 2nd and 3rd are from this morning. Even though sometimes I still see a big person in the mirror I am so happy that I did this and I feel so much better.

My highest weight that I have on record is 280 pounds and that was around November of 2013 right when I started my 6 months of classes before surgery. That is 130 pounds lost total so far. Thank you for the post. It always helps to hear positive comments :) hope your journey goes well!

      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.
