Thank you everyone for your kind works and encouragement! I am so excited at how things are going. My husband thinks I am the "poster child" of successful recovery. I have had no complications this far, no vomiting, no aversions or problems with any foods I have eaten so far. My only problem is making sure I get enough fluids in! :-) Weight loss seems to be slowing quickly but I haven't started back strong in the gym yet. Here's to hoping the next 40 pounds comes off just as easily and quickly! :-)

Congratulations!! I entered ONEderland on 7/6!! Similar to you, it was at least 7 years since I was under 200.... and seeing that number on the scale is amazing! I cannot wait until my next doctors visit when we no longer need to move the scales weight from 150 to 200. That will be a moment to remember :)

Congrats. I cannot wait for that moment. At 2 months I'm 41lbs down. I have 25 lbs to go to get in the hundreds. My gift to myself will be going to the spa. Something I always wanted to do.

What are your stats? My highest in January was 262. On the pre-op diet I lost a lot! On surgery day (June 10th) I was 224.9. And today I am stalled at 198.5... So in 4 weeks I lost 26.4 pounds.

@@prbaby28 my surgeon doesn't allow for us to drink Protein Shakes. I am only allowed to eat 3 meals a day, a 1/4 of some kind of Protein. and the only other thing I do is drink Water, propels, or zero Vitamin waters.(I do sugar free Popsicles still just to try and get my fluids in. I'm not doing anything special by any means. I have been stalled now since I posted this tread (so five days).. I have started getting back in the gym but very slowly.

      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.
