Wow, I love the success stories. You people rock! I'm really impressed with what you have accomplished.

My surgery was Dec 16 and I'm down 46 lbs. I'm feeling well and exercising. I've walked 2.5 miles at a time, and try to increase it every day. I feel good.

For a long time I was losing weight but not a lot of size. About 3 weeks ago in a space of a couple of days I lost a bunch of size, so that was great. (Though I wish I'd lose some in my breasts, and have not lost any there yet.)

My struggle is still to attempt to get enough Protein every day, but other than that I don't have any problems.

Mine was dec 3 and I'm down 70lbs.

Still working on the Water intake and the Protein Shakes. Still learning how to eat lol sounds funny but this is the hardest thing to do. My 3 month apt is March 7th so I'll see what they have to say. But I do wanna say congrats to everyone on your accomplishments you've come a long way and this is a great journey for us all :)

Congratulations everyone on all your success! I had surgery Dec. 10th and am only down 32 pounds. Very frustrated and saddened by this.

Remember this: Comparison is the thief of joy.

Your journey is yours and no one elses. People like me with a lot LOT of weight to lose will drop it faster. Don't compare your journey just know that you are less than you were before! You can do this! We all can!

      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.
