I'm half way to my goal. Down 45 lbs. 45 to go. I broke my foot and was not allowed to put weight on it for 8 weeks, then within a week of the boot coming off, I developed a hairline fracture in the same foot. Again no weight on it. With limited mobility, I guess 45 lbs isn't so bad.

I had stones in my gull bladdar. I was having issues eating and therefore wouldn't eat until I was forced to. Doctor was doing testing and had actually gotten the results of the ultrasound and bloodwork back saying that it was bad. I ended up in the ER at 2am with really bad pain so instead of being scheduled I got fit into the next day. I was actually released same day (I had surgery at 4:00 pm and home by 10:00 pm.) The surgery was Tuesday, I was home today resting (I ran some errands but mom drove), tomorrow I plan on going into work. I don't have a ton of leave due to the fact that I missed 3 weeks due to my bariatric surgery. I am supposed to have family coming in 2 weeks and wanted to spend the week off with them.

I was getting stomach pains (a super uncomfy tightness) - dr said it was better to come out on our terms rather then waiting for an emergency (after u/s - it was confirmed I had gall stones). dr said 1 out of 5 will get it after WLS. I just happened to be the 1. Surgery and recovery went well. I was back to walking my 3+ miles after a believe 5 days. (Walked a lot at a local festival 2 days after surgery so it was an easy recovery).

Since I started the pre-surgery diet I've lost 76 lbs and am now 98.6 pounds from my highest weight. I am so grateful for my sleeve. :D

Great job! I am so thankful too!

      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.
