I had the gastric bypass on Dec 31st 2014 and I'm now about almost 2 months out and I feel great. When I started my journey into a healthier lifestyle I weighed 410 lbs now I'm 316 lbs and still losing. Eating hasn't been bad at all of course like any normal human being I had my doubts and bad days but as time goes by it gets easier and I know I did the right thing for myself. Just sharing hoping to give some positive vibes to everyone out there going through this experience.

Good for you! That's a great loss! It isn't the easiest thing in the world, but WLS has been wonderful for me as well.

You are doing great and congrats on your choice on being healthy. You have to take each day one at a time and focus on making good choice, we already know what bad choices are and what they do to you, when you see how good you feel and the new doors that open up to you that you can engage in , you will be amaze. You can set small goals for yourself as well as rewards and achieve them , for example one goal may be crossing your legs. I have learned to reward myself for making good choices, such as since I go to the gym and work out 2 hours five days a week my reward to myself have been a new dress, new underwear even shopping at the consignment stores. My self esteem has improved greatly and the comments as well as how I am look upon in envy has been new but trust me I am adjusting. This surgery has also shown me people true colors and those people who were not good for me I drop. Good luck.

      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.
