I had my 7 week post-op follow-up yesterday. I am down 4 pant sizes and 65+ lbs since July 4th. I am still doing very well - energy is high and feeling great. I have had a couple "slimming" incidents over the last 3 weeks but mostly due to eating too much too fast.

I hope everyone is doing well and mentally prepared for Thanksgiving! Take it easy on the stuffing!! :-)

Sharing a little before and after pic of me wearing the same shirt.

I had surgery on 10/15. I'm down 51lbs! 21 prior to surgery and 30 since. HW421 SW400 CW370. I haven't really felt a huge difference yet, because my weight is still very high. It will take a lot before I begin to really feel the effects. I've had more good days than bad as I am still trying to figure out what I can eat and how much I can eat. I have every confidence this is going to work and I am going to get to my goal of being under 200 pounds. It does take a while to figure everything out! It's definitely a life changing experience but it's a change for the better.

Did you have gastric sleeve or bypass?

Sounds like you're doing great. We are all finding our way. Truly resetting our eating and life!

      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.
