I am three years out and have struggles through this weight lost journey. I Had many illness after surgery which set me back. I also was a slow loser. But since I went to Florida for two weeks I got a new lease on life I have lost a good amount of weight and I am still losing it. I am so glad that things are fall into place. I started this journey with a lot of hope and dreams and it feels good to finally see then come to life.

I would like to tell every one please don't feel regret just get back on that horse and try again this is your life change and you will never get there if you don't work at it.

Good Luck All

Hello you mentioned you were a slow loser. So am I...I was wondering if you mind sharing your numbers (HW and CW) and if you reached goal?

I am almost 4 years out and although I have to work at staying at goal I have been at goal since 1 year out. I just want to say that as I was walking home from the gym the other day and marveling at my good life, I never in my wildest dreams thought at age 61 I would be happier than I have ever been. And it would not have happened without this surgery. I am grateful every day.

      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.
