Officially lost 20lbs now which puts me under 300 for the first time in a long time! I know I still have a long way to go, but it's really encouraging. It's amazing what a difference 20lbs can make in energy levels and stamina. 2016 is off to a great start!

Congratulations!

Two week post op visit went great! I was cleared to advance to soft/mushy foods, and I'm super glad to say that there were no issues. That's definitely something I've been stressing out about. Loving life in 2016!

LPNAshley,

Way to go! I'm due for my surgery in the next couple of days and I am looking forward to hitting mini goals myself!

Rock on,

Louie

Congratulations! I know how exciting it is to finally see the scale move down (and stay down) instead of always moving in the other direction. There is more to come!

      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.
