I had surgery October 3rd so I'm almost 5 months out. But started weight loss last January. Well I didn't post on Facebook or tell everyone. People close to me knew or if someone asked. I had a battle with cancer last year and my work was concerned about that, so I fessed up.

I got married Saturday February the 11th. Some distant family and friends attended who didn't know I had changed so much. A lady from my church who does know over heard 2 women contemplating "what had happened to me" drugs being one conclusion. Seriously. I'm the last person who would do that. My now husband a police officer by day pastor 24/7 I've never really even drank. Rant over just wondered if anyone not open about surgery ever had that happen.

I'm barely a month out, but my friend had her surgery almost 4 years ago and some people thought she was on drugs. It bothered her, but she didn't talk about it much

Talking about it doesn't bother me. I had someone ask me can I ask a personal? what are you doing" at my reception and I was honest about it also at that point I had lost 85 lbs and almost half of it was before I had the surgery. That its another tool. I don't eat as much, but I could still eat the wrong things and not loose even gain. I found out at church last night and irritated. Everybody who knows me knows just ask.

Lol yep. I've seen people on drugs some pretty bad, tape worm never personally met anyone, and cancer I have seen a lot. None of the people I saw looked healthy. I've seen people w rny who did look a bit sick right before they started maintenance phase. I'm not there yet. Didn't think I was close to sick, malnourished looking. My start weight was 292 my all time recorded high 334 about 6 years ago. I'm not even in onederland yet. Oh so close but not there. Yes my hair sheds quite a bit but there's a lot left.

Eat less and exercising more which is true that's what i say. I can't believe what some people will say they can be so rude! But I didn't have hair noticeable loss that one would be harder to explain. But you look great! All that matters is your truth no one else's business.

      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.
