I am officially down 20 lbs and so excited because it's so hard for me to lose anything! I can't wait to get under 200 lbs..my Birthday is Jan 17th and I'm going to work real hard to be 199 on that day. My birthday will be the starts of adding fruits and veggies back into my diet..so there will be lots of reasons for celebration!

Had mine Nov 7th, had more downs than ups and have been placed on the liquid diet again. They are putting a camera down on Thursday to see what is wrong, I really struggle keeping any food inside me, 3oz would definitely be time to throw up. How are you getting on?

My surgery was November 29 and I am exactly 3 weeks out today.

I've lost 23# (30#, if you count the 7# of fluids I gained from the IV!) and I am eating real food without any problems.

I've had no pain and no nausea or vomiting. It has been the easiest thing I've ever done. I'm off basically all of my diabetes meds (including 2 types of insulin), and almost ready to go off of the remaining temporary meds, which will leave me taking only an OTC allergy pill.

Surgery was the best decision I've ever made.

I'm so sorry to hear that..hope it's not a stricture but if it is they say it's fairly easy to fix. Hugs and prayers to you.

I'm off my diabetic meds too..no issues..no food intolerances(so far)..I can't tolerate Protein shakes but hear that may just be temporary. I started weights today..I'm walking 10,000 steps a day at least 5 days a week..this surgery was the best decision and investment I've ever made in 'ME.'

      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.
