Sure. My surgery was 5/12/14. Date of surgery I was 237. Today I was 121. I initially had VSG but converted to RNY on 7/1/16 because of out of control acid. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

I am in nor cal. Central coast. But I am a dinosaur with a lap band (12/06)

I am happy to see others doing Wls. It is the best move I ever made.

I lost about 100 lbs. now 90. But about once a year I get to the 100 lb loss again

It is a daily process and Protein and Water and exercise seemed to be my trilogy. I am embarrassed to say I seem to have to pay my exercise trainer to keep me going. (I just don't put it first when I don't)

Keep posting. Us veterans love to see the changes!!

I'm in Nor Cal. Sleeved yesterday at

Kaiser Richmond. Great program. Didn't have a 12 week class but they do have additional classes they have you take if

you are having a hard time losing the weight they require pre surgery. My hubs and I started the process the same day and he was sleeved two months from the day we started and I was 2.5 weeks after him.

      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.
