I had my surgery on June 7,2016 day of surgery weight was 235 starting weight was 252, today I'm at 196 and went from a size 20 to a size 13 !! I'm so excited , I have a lot more energy now, I haven't been in this size since I was 18. I still have ways to go to get to my goal weight, but I'm happy with how far I have come. It's been tough, but worth it.post-292516-14720624221408_thumb.jpg post-292516-14720625004647_thumb.jpg

I haven't been 196 since I was 18, too! And at age 17, I was only 145. Hard to believe I was 115 at age 14! Oral steroids are evil, lol! Congratulations! You look amazing!

I'm super happy for u. I'm having a hard time with not being jealous and sad that I was done on June 21st and I've been stuck at 32 lbs for three weeks. Feeling so discouraged

I noticed you have tattoos on your arms. I also have 2 very special tattoos on my upper arms. Right side upper arm a flying pig for my dad that passed from cancer 3 years ago and on the left a half upper sleeve of a Horned Owl with teal ribbon for my mother in law that just passed from ovarian cancer this last May. I was wondering if your tattoos are changing any? Stretching out etc.

You look amazing and make me feel excited about maybe having WLS

Thank you, don't get discouraged. Everyone is different, look at your calorie intake if your not taking in enough calories your body stops burning fat, make sure your taking in your Protein and walking! You got this, you can do it! @@trae33

@@kimberb , thank you ! I haven't seen anything happen to my tattoos as far as stretching or anything like that. As for the surgery it's been a challenge but well worth it! This is by far one of the hardest journeys I have taken. Good luck! You can do it!

I'm only 3 weeks out, what kinds of things do you eat? I'm curious because you have had such great results...maybe I can steal some food ideas from you! ????

I had to follow a 6 week diet plan set by my surgeon. First week was liquid, followed by two weeks Puree, two weeks semi solid then regular consistency foods.. No eggs till after eight weeks. But lots of Protein, Beans and spinach lol chicken breast and I love eggplant I use it when I want Pasta or pizza I just use that instead, as the crust or the Pasta substitute. Love bananas with lactate milk became lactose intolerant... Or Peanut Butter and banana.

      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.
