I'm three months post op. Down about 60 pounds. Life has dramatically improved. My high blood pressure is gone. I have a ton of energy now, and look forward to the final push to drop the rest over the next three months. I started as a tight 44 inch jeans, and now I'm getting ready to switch down to 36's.

Wow...Congratulations! So glad to hear of your success. I had my surgery with Dr. C on Feb. 23rd. I hope to have the same things to say in three months. :) Well done!

Just checking back in. Progress slowed a little during March but I still lost five pounds. I'm down 83 pounds overall, 70 of which are post op. My appetite is coming back some. I'm eating around 3-4 oz per meal. I started adding a bite or two of non-Proteins such as potato. All and all I'm very pleased. I'm back to lifting at the gym 3 days a week and continue to walk daily.

      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.
