I am officially 51 pounds down and 3 months post op. I'm very happy with the results of my surgery, and surprisingly enough I'm excited about going on vacation on Thursday. I have been following my diet and exercise regime very strictly, and I'm very happy about it. I'll keep everyone updated about how my first vacation after surgery went :). I feel excited and about this journey that I have taken and looking forward towards actually making healthier eating choices while on vacation like I have been doing for the the two months since I've been eating solid foods.

Congrats!! I am right there with you. I am almost 3 months post op and EXTREMELY happy with my weight loss and absolutely thrilled I chose this surgery. I am loving my transformation and things have gotten easier with my eating, so I feel complete almost.

I am going on a mini vacation this weekend too for the first time. We are going tubing on the river, and I will be wearing a bathing suit and actually feel more comfortable. I can't wait!!

Oh and I've lost a total of 40 lbs as of today, since pre-op, and 24 lbs since surgery! :)

Have fun on your vaca!!

And btw I felt even more excited and happy when I went to old navy and actually fit perfect and a little loose on the legs into some size 14 shorts ( I stop buying clothes after my size 16 clothes no longer fit, all I wore was leggings and sweat pants)...so with that being said one of the best feelings in the world right now for me

When was your surgery? Mine was April 6 and I've lost 40lbs with lots of hard work. I thought it was going to be much quicker.... Congrats on your loss

Hi, I'm also 3 months post op, surgery 4/8, and have lost a total of 50 lbs. I hope the next 50 lbs comes of by my sixth month, because I totally hate the stalls.

My surgery was 4/14 and I know I work hard to make sure I lose some weight...and hopefully I continue to lose at the rate that I'm losing because the more you lose weight you start losing weight slower

      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.
