When I went in for surgery I weighed 239. Now I'm 223. The results keep getting better and better. Please follow guideline and walk walk walk. Can't emphasize that enough. You are making a great decision life changing

I had my surgery august 5th 2016 so we're very close date wise :-) good for you, definitely feels like I made the right decision for myself as well. BabyLurve24, my Dr told me to walk around my house as much as I could handle after the surgery. He advised that I not start with the gym, machines or weights till I was 6 weeks post op. Even then, to take it easy and gently build up to what I could do before. Good luck and all the best

Surgery was 8/24 and I initially lost 10 lbs. but nothing since. I do feel lighter, maybe losing inches but when is the weight start coming off? I'm still in 2nd week post surgery and can't keep off the scale. Any help friends?

      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.
