Hey y'all. This journey has been, insanely crazy (in a good way). My weightless started really low. At least for what I thought it would be. I started jogging/walking about 3 weeks ago, and I've been so happy with the results. I have now lost 47 lbs from my weight right when I started my 10 day pre-op diet and 31.6 since surgery. It's been almost 2 months. I feel so energetic, and amazing!!!

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

So yesterday, I made chili cheese fries for dinner... I used my non stick pan and sprayed a little Pam on it. I "fried" the fries and then I put fat free turkey chili on top and 1/4 cup cheese. It was SO good. Not as good as the fast food, but I enjoyed every bit of it. And it gave me 20 grams of Protein. Still not enough calories but I'm getting fun with with cooking stuff now.

By the way... I cut the fries very small so they'd cook fast.

you can eat fries? i cant have any carbs untill 6 monthes

Yes, I can have potato.. but I baked it before I "fried" it... I just wanted then to have that crispy fried taste

My doctor told me not to eat more than 50 grams of carbs. I'm usually very low.. in the 30's. My calories still don't go past 500. And I'm averaging my Protein at 75-80. @@Lana R.

I bought 2 months worth too, but I can't stand my Vitamins. Currently on the patch, but if I can take them orally, I think it might be better.

I started using the Patches as well. The chewable ones make me so nauseous. I do have a problem with the Patches coming off at night. When I asked my nutritionist about them she said they like to have the blood work done at a year and year and a half because that is when Vitamin levels are measured the best.

If I put them on at night I usually put them

On My hip I notice they stay on well or on my shoulder blade...I get my three month check up on a few weeks let's see if these have helped bcuz like you the chewables makes me so nauseous maybe once everything settles I can resume the Vitamins

I would love to have them. I think I've decided after talking to the Vitamin Shoppe guy tonight that I'm not gonna take gummies anymore.

      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.
