If you are a March 30th sleever or close to the date, I would like to know how everyone is doing.

So far for me everything is going really well. Some confusion here and there and I'll either figure it out myself or contact the doctors office.

What stage are you on? How are you feeling? Have you returned back to work? Gym? How much have you lost?

Please add whatever you choose to share!

Mine was on March 27

I am on soft food now.

Total loss was 18 lbs ONLY.

I am in stall now didnt lose anything for past 2 week (since I started the puree food).

I started soft food this week and I have unconfortable feelings that food stuck in my esophagus and takes too long to pass through

does anyone had the same feelings at this stage??

Still can't get all my Protein and Water in.

I didnt start exercising yet just few minutes on elliptical each day but nothing serious.

I dont want to loose weight fast but I dont want to stop there

Mine was March 28th. I am on soft food now, but sometimes I will still have mushy food. I am doing ok with Protein and Water, essentially 60g of Protein and 64 oz are my targets. Some days are better than others. I started up at the gym this past Saturday the 23rd. So far I have had one stall, and am in one right now. But total lost is 28 pounds. I'm feeling almost 100%! Best decision of my life.

Mine was March 30th too. I am at soft food stage. I started swimming and I feel great. Next week I will start some abdominal exercises. Honestly I returned to work after just 1 week post op. I'm taking all my Vitamins and getting in my Protein shakes smoothly. I lost 37 lbs and for the past two weeks my scale didn't move at all. Otherwise I feel great.

I don't have any regrets at all.

Drink a lot of Water, don't skip your Vitamins and Protein Shakes. They'll give you energy. Oh and I started wearing smaller clothes . Excited to continue.

Wow! Everyone is doing amazing!

I struggle day to day with Water and Protein intake. Some days are good and some not so good. I just continue to push through. I noticed that this week I haven't been feeling so good. Today it dawned on me that it's probably my Water and Protein intake and that I need more. I've lost 23lbs so far and I'm very proud of myself!! I'm proud of you guys as well. I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym as I have a doctors appt next week. Some days I get confused as to what should I be eating at this stage.

I asked that you guys keep me updated on your progress as I will do the same.

Had my surgery on 3/28 so official one month as of today.

I'm down about 20lbs from the day of surgery and 40lbs from the start of my two week pre-op liquids diet.

On soft foods now, able to tolerate everything I've tried so far.

Hitting my Water and Protein goals for the most part, have trouble remembering to drink throughout the day some times.

Able to get three 1/2 cup meals in right now so hitting about half my Protein from food and the other half from a protein shake.

Walking about two miles a day five days a week.

Had some problems with Constipation the second week but no other issues so far.

Feeling better physically than I have in a long time, lots of little aches in my legs are already starting to go away. Clothes are already too big.

      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.
