Hi I had my surgery 4/5/16 and I'm down 70 pounds. I went thru 6 months of doctor visits - nutritionist - I feel sooo much better but I'm a bit nervous about the amount of weight loss in 5 months. Any input from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks

Lollll, I see those amo pills. They are huge. Try not to miss a dose. I have been having heartburn all week n trying not figure out what's causing it. I think it's the master cleanse I did this week, took 2 huge zegerid pills to try and get some sleep tonight. I am in my 5th month of my pre-surgery requirements. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck to you as well! Heartburn is the absolute worst! I hope you find relief soon! :) I have heard great things about the master cleanse. Please let me know how it works for you?

Ekg and chest xray were completed on wednesday. Those were probably the fastest test ever! Literally about 10 minutes to complete both! I have my nutritionist appointment and my psych eval next week. After that I will need to do a preop education class and then I'm done!! I can't wait to finally get scheduled and have everything sent off to insurance.

I completed my nutritionist visit and psych exam. Both were pretty easy. I learned so much in both consultations. I almost cried in my psych visit because he totally understood how the weight struggle is and he was definitely supportive of my decision. Next friday I will be completing my pre op education class and that same day my papers will be sent off for insurance approval. It's starting to hit home now and I'm freaking out a little. I don't know what has me so nervous. This is what I want and I'm doing it. I'm still confident this will be one of the best decisions I ever make for myself.

      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.
