Love your hair. Did you braid it yourself? It looks perfect! Congrats on your journey. I'm only a month out. I go to follow up tomorrow and will know how much I dropped in pounds but I did this for my diabetes mainly even though I was almost 300 lbs at 5'5".

Good things come to good people.

Congrats. I have been on the liquid diet now seven days. Its tough but the best advice I can give is try the Atkins Protein shakes. They have many flavors and taste great. The Protein powders have a funny texture and flavor. It made my first couple days feel impossible. This is just my opinion so far. Hope it helps.

i agree what yiu said about the Atkins shakes,they are good. i do drink the powder drinks and the are thicker than Atkins so i add a little Water in it.and it get a little thinner but i add less milk so keep it up you will do fine.

Hi guys, I went to the doctors today and I thought i had lot more than 3 pounds sense last month. I have been going hard on my work out i do. I have changed my eating and not really drinking soda or juices i will say i do drink tea with equal but not everyday. Got 11 more pounds to lose and thus is driving me crazy. Today I did find out the Atkins shakes are really not good for you, wished i had of known and i wouldnt been buying and drinking fore a meal. I also found out the dr wanted me to have 60 grams Protein and i was only doing 32 so now i know that could be one the reason i am not losing like i should. Yall tell me if i am wrong. please let me know. Thanks :mellow:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
