The ones who have had surgery, how is everything? Time flies and it's almost a month I had the surgery. I am doing well and started to lose again. Had a 2 week stall. Just joined the gym and this will get the ball rolling! Survived the storm yesterday, 34.5" of snow!! I hope everyone is all well.

I had surgery Sept. 10, 2014, and at my 3 month weigh in I am down 50 pounds. It was a vary welcome surprise, as I don't own a scale. I was still feeling so tired and when I spoke with my doctors about it, they suggested to have blood work done again. Found out that I was low on Iron. After adding a Iron supplement, I'm feeling better, less tired. I do feel that taking your Vitamins, B's, and other supplements is very important, you can really feel tired and sluggish if you miss one day of them.

Just went in for my 6 month follow up on March 10, 2014.

I've lost 60lbs, and I feel 110% better than before! I'm finding that I can eat small amounts of anything I want, bread (Dave's Killer bread, thin sliced) is best toasted, and I've learned a sandwich with toasted bread, is really pretty good.

I did start to lose my hair, but found that straight boiten (?) works the best for me, not the hair, skin,nail combo pill. I am getting better at letting my old clothes go, as I still think "what if this doesn't work"? then I laugh and put something else in the Goodwill bag. Now I just need to get the bag to Goodwill! LOL.

I still don't own a scale, tossing around the idea of buying one, as my next appointment isn't until my 1 year date. Oh well, plenty of time to decide.

I will say, it has been hard at times, but the BEST decision I have ever made, and would totally make the same choice again.

      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.
