@@SoExcited101, I'm so excited for you, too. There's a lot to be said for honest emotion.

My history since surgery hasn't been perfect. In fact, far from it. Nevertheless, you remind me of my lowest weight, 198, about 15 months post-surgery. I was at a follow-up appointment and was floored when I saw the scale. All weepy, I thanked my surgeon, my NP, my RD and the entire office staff of the practice. They all said that it was all my work, but I really felt that each of them, even the one or two I'd never met before, had a part in the process. It was a delicious feeling and I'm glad you're having your version now. Thank you for sharing it.

@@SoExcited101,

Congratulations! What a great way to start off your weight loss surgery journey! That should really give you motivation to keep working hard so you can keep seeing those great numbers…and see yourself look and feel better.

And it may not be the most important thing, but it sure feels good to show the doubters a thing or two!

Keep up the good work!

      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.
