I'm a revision patient. I had my surgery October of this year. It will be 3 months come January. I am 8 pounds away from being under 200lbs, I never thought I would get this far so soon. I now feel confident that I will get to my goal weight! One day, one step at a time.

Hey Auri, Nice to hear from you. you sound very positive and that's a good thing. I'm still waiting around and will see my surgeon in two weeks. Hopefully I will start the pre-op diet. You can really see a difference and I know that you will get to goal before you know it.

Wow, Auri, you are such an inspiration! I am also a revision patient but I was only able to get my band removed this month. I have to wait until April now to get the gastric bypass done but seeing your results makes the wait a little easier. Thank you for sharing! :)

Update: the last 2 months were a bit rough for me, very slow losses, one month was only 2 lb loss. While that was happening, I lost a massive amount of inches though. I took measurements from hips, belly button, waist, arms, legs and bust. All those together were 243 at the start of Janurary, 3 weeks ago I took the measurements again and it was 226.75, that's a total of 16 inches lost. I lost 4 inches off my hips alone. Just this week I went in and tried on some pants, they were a size 12 (a bit tight around the stomach but they fit and zipped. So if the scale fails you, just know you are indeed losing inches. So far I've lost a total of 52" since the beginning of my journey. From a 22/24 to now a just right 14 and tight 12. Also I've gone down another 6 lbs and am 194.

Auri you look fantastic! I am just postop day 3 and cannot imagine looking as good as you do in 6 months. I imagine you feel like a new person. What are you doing for exercise? Right now I am totally afraid to get moving but I know I will have to adopt some type of exercise into my daily routine.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
