Congratulations. I am sure this holiday season was much more enjoyable. Great job.

Funny you say that because last Christmas was my breaking point and I went to my first bariatric seminar 2 weeks later. I was sweating, out of breath trying to cook. I over-ate and was miserable. I would sit on the couch and I'd have to rock back and forth to get back up. It was an aweful night and I knew I needed to do something.

@@cdeisroth you have the gastric bypass? For how long?

Your results are amazing!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! Yes I had gastric bypass in March 2016 so just about 9.5 months ago. My stats are below:

Starting weight 1/2016 - 261lbs

Surgery weight 3/2016 - 239lbs

Current weight 1/2017 - 139lbs

Goal weight - 136lbs

It did come off very fast for me initially but slowed down a lot these last 3-4 months

@cderisroth and after you'll remove it. You must go on eating just a bit for don't make you stomach larger right?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well there is nothing to remove because with the bypass they reduce your stomach by 80-90% and that is permanent.

I would say I ate between 500-700 calories a day for the first 6 months. Currently I'm eating around 1200 calories a day. I don't worry about my stomach stretching because I don't eat too much food at any one time, probably no more than 1 cup or 3-4 ounces of Protein. I've had to really retrain my brain to understand what "satisfied" is rather than full. Before surgery I would stuff myself to the point of being uncomfortable. Now I eat until satisfied then stop. It took a while to learn that!

      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.
