Hi there! I'm pretty new too, but I love to talk :D

I had my surgery on 5/16/16, and have lost 90lbs since then. Still learning about foods, what to eat, and how many calories I need to keep my weight loss going through the stalls.

I only brought my phone and charger, IPad (because I'm old and blind LOL), and I wore the same clothes that I wore into the hospital (baggy leggings and a big comfy shirt)... clean undies for the drive home, and CHAPSTICK. Don't forget the chapstick, because you will probably want it :) And don't leave it on the hospital food tray, because then you will lose it and make your spouse go get your more I live in Oklahoma City, OK. Not too close, but I'ven been to Arizona, does that count?

Hi, I had surgery 5/2/2016, it sounds like we are similar in stats. I have lost 84 pounds. I am in a weight loss stall, are you experiencing this?

      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.
