Since January 2015 I've lost 44 lbs. my surgery Roux en Y Gastric Bypass was April 27. Since my surgery I've lost about 30 -- seems kind of slow, but that's more than 10 lbs per month! (I started with a BMI of about 40.). I've hired a personal trainer for strength and I've been walking 40-60 minutes at least 4x week. Very happy with my decision to have the surgery.

My A1C was 14.9 at its highest. I was taking humalog 50/50 and not having much glucose control. 2 days after sugery my glucose was good enough that they stopped giving me insulin in the hospital, and I haven't taken any since then. My currect A1C (this month actully) 5.5! Best decision ever!

Before surgery, my A1C was at a 7, but I had to take insulin at night and take glipizie in the morning and in the evening. Since surgery ( June 22) I am off all my meds and blood pressure meds as well

      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?

      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.
