@simhr703 I have lost 60 pounds so far. The last week I haven't been too strict with what I have been eating I started at 300 and now 240 and my goal weight is about 180 so I am half way. What is your weight loss so far? I have noticed at times it comes off quickly but I really wouldn't worry as long as your losing a couple pounds a week you should be fine depending on your starting weight.

I'm in Christiansburg and my surgeon is Dr. Salzberg as well. Looking at June surgery. That's what I'm hoping for at least. That's if all things fall into place. How are you doing? Do you have a date yet?

I am in Norfolk and my bypass was 05/08/17. I am struggling with the Vitamins I keep getting nauseous. I also am not doing well with plans on meals. I would love a buddy or mentor. My age is 67 but since there is no book on how to act I don't feel that age lol. Please help me if you 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.
