It's so WEIRD not looking fat.

My main concern is the drastic weight loss that I see from other people. When my Dr. recommended Gastric Bypass as the best option for my medical condition(s) I gasped. He asked my what my concern was and I guess the biggest is how fast losing weight can be. I know everyone is different. I really want to be healthy and rid of my meds. I will do any and everything to achieve this. He told me working out with strength train to build muscle is the answer.

I felt foolish being alarmed with becoming thinner again. Its been this way for me since I had my daughter in 2004 and being diagnosed hypothyroid. It weird being used to being over weight. I am READY for this cure and new life.

my last baby was 27 yrs ago yesterday and I'm now back in pre pregnancy size/weight..i also have hashis..thyroid disease..on med doing really great. I'm 10 months PO and over 100 down..I was sleeved..I was scared or had fear of dropping the weight simply bc it was used to hide. I was afraid of being exposed it was an emotional or safe suit (fat suit) I had emotional baggage from past..therapy got me through I was directed to this surgery for reversal of insulin resistance and pre diabetes and thyroid disease. I am happier then ever! Wish you the best..best desicion Iv ever done for me and my health! ????I also worried about others opinions..I didn't openly discuss bc I wasn't out for approval..now I don't care So much. Iv lost consistently about 2 wk..

      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.
