I just found this thread and was curious to know how everyone is doing a year later! I did my nutrition classes and psych clearance through the Christiana Weight Management Program, but I'm not having my surgery at CHRIAS.

@tlh4life well, it's almost a year and I feel great! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. I'm down 67 pounds. I would still like to loose another 25 pounds. But, it does get a whole lot harder after the honeymoon phase is over. I'm off all of my meds! And no more cpap machine! And I feel great! My husband is at his goal weight, he had his surgery exactly one week after me. He is also off meds and cpap! We have both had some wls associated Hair loss at around the 5 month mark, not too bad though, its just starting to slow down now. Neither of us have any excess skin issues. The first few days at home after the surgery are the worst, but you will get through it. You will get some pain when you eat too much or too fast, just listen to your body and not your brain. You will be ok. The Premier Protein shakes have been a Godsent! I still drink them. I get them at costco. Good luck to you on your journey, I hope you are as happy as we are 😙😙😙

      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.
