I'm in Northern CA and had my surgery on 4/20. No complications. Just taking everything day by day. The gas pains and getting in/out of bed have been the worst. Each day it gets better!!!

Via the bottom end of business. Walking 3-4 miles a day. Feeling good. Weight is coming off 2 lbs a week. How about you? Are you feeling strong? Hope all is well. Michele

Hey there Michele, doing pretty good, and my first adverse reaction came from adding too much mayo to my tuna! I lost crazy fast for first couple of weeks, now it's down to about 2-3 lbs per week, but at least it's not going up!! Yes, fairly strong, I have my moments but trying to keep the bigger picture in mind.

Oh, total of 48 lbs as of yesterday. Although I'm not supposed to be weighing myself :)

Funny you say that about mayo in tuna. That was my first mistake. Yeah I thought I'd be losing faster but keeping on on track. Walking and probably not eating enough Protein. Losing though. Really excited to shed the next 20 cause I'll be breaking out the 200's!!! Thanks for answering. Stay in touch! Hope you are well. Michele

Hi. Chele367, I know that area! I used to live off Floyd and mchenry .

How are you doing so far. ? I am kinda of lagging on getting my blood work and going to my psy appt. I am just so undecided. I have always said " if I have ins , I would get the weight loss surgery" well I have had ins for a couple of year and they are going to pay for it. I really want the surgery one day then the next day I am not umm not sure. I just pray I can make up my mind .

I live in Salida. I am new to this whole thing. I have talked to my doctor about having the surgery and I have to meet with a counselor on Thursday. Then I have to take a class in December. It is still a ways away for me to get the surgery, but I am looking forward to it. I have Kaiser. What insurance do you have?

      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.
