Hi everyone. I haven't been on here for a long time. I thought I'd just update my photos and info and decided to share my photos with you. I had Gastric Bypass Feb. 2nd, 2016. I have lost 94 lbs. so far. I hit my surgeon's original goal weight of 151 on Dec. 28th but I have lost a little muscle mass and now my goal is 143. So I have a little ways to go still. I have had no issues other than getting my gallbladder removed a couple months after my WLS. I have lost over 6 feet of inches. I went from 244 lbs. to 150 today. I've gone from a 2X shirt and 18 pants to a S/M shirt and size 7/8 pants. I went snow skiing for the first time yesterday. I never would have been able to do that before losing this weight. I am so Thankful that I had this surgery. It has changed my life and also how I want to live it! Here's a few pictures for ya.

Thanks Everyone! I remember thinking what the heck have I done right after surgery. When my hair started falling out, I wondered if I'd have any left. I struggled getting everything required in. Now, I'm almost 100 lbs. lighter, my hairs growing back and I've mastered my diet to succeed! :)

      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.
