Hi, I am super happy, my surgery date was September 12, so today I am celebrating my first month. My surgery date weight was 257 lb. Today I am 225 lb. A total of 32 pounds in a month. That make me so happy, the last time I was this weight was over 5 years ago. Every thing is way easier for me now, I'm not getting suffocated as I was a month ago, I am feeling wonderful. Thank you for all the support I have been getting from you guys.

I too had Surgery one month ago today. So far I think things have been going well. The only thing I can say is that I dont believe I'm having enough Protein or liquids. I try but cant seem to consume enough. I have lost a total of 31 pounds however I haven't weighed myself at all this week because I was becoming very obsessed with weighing myself sometime 3-4 times a day. So I removed the scales from my house and wont weigh myself until my check-ups.

Do you have any suggestions On how to get all your Proteins and liquids in. I'm really struggling with that. I also seem to be obsessed with string cheese lol.

But boy it does feel great to be feeling so much better in such a short period of time.

Congratulations on your success and continued success.

@viri87@Asmundson69 Congrats to both of you. Enjoy the new freedom that comes with being lighter. Pick up a 30pound weight and realize you had been carrying that 24/7. I hope you will slowly ramp up the exercise. Think about taking colder showers, and look into everything you can to make your skin as healthy and happy as possible. Look into yoga. That helped me sculpt the best bod I could get. Enjoy the process, realize as the fat goes away, a huge number of hormones dump into your blood stream, it might get a little freaky, but it will pass.

      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.
