So had my one month post op and I'm down 27 pds! Stitches have healed nicely and I no longer feel as tired as I did at the beginning. In phase 3 of my diet, so now I can do soft foods finally! The challenges I've been experiencing have been Constipation and making sure I'm hitting my Water goals. I'm in the middle of househunting too so things have been a bit crazed. So crazed that I have had to remind myself to eat, something that was never an issue before. All in all, happy to see the progress...tough getting sleeved during the holidays (11/21/16) but it was worth it!

In what world is 28 pounds in a month considered slow? Unless you weigh like 600 pounds to start, that is very fast weight loss.

Yesterday 12/21 was my one month anniversary.

I'm down 35 pounds since the surgery weigh in.

Had no issues at all, no real pain and no problems outside of having to "understand" my stomach and what it can and can't do.

I'm in Stage 4 (for me that's solid food, ground turkey, etc.)

Eating slower, chewing more -- eating far less in portions has been the only challenge.

I haven't started exercising as of yet based on being on a blood thinner.

But today Is my last needle (yes, I've had to administer two needles daily) and I will start my exercise plan post X-Mas.

So far I can say this is the best decision I've made for my health and well being of my life.

I look forward to seeing more weight come off and be much more active.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
