I had gastric bypass in Jan 2015. My starting weight was 250, and I am now down to 184. Part way to my goal. I made this hard decision

after my diabetes was out of control. I was on the insulin pump, and just was gaining weight. I have 2 children and knew I wanted to be around for them. 4 day after surgery, I was off my insulin pump and now 7 months after surgery, I only give my shots if necessary. I have only had 3 insulin injections since surgery. My blood sugar is now in the 80's or below. I am very happy with my progress. But still have some work to do.

Great Job . Did you have any issues

NO I have not had any issues. Pretty smooth so far. Still a learning process as to what I can and can not eat.

      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.
