Just had my first month post op visit with my Surgeon and he said Im actually ahead of where he anticipated I would be. He expected a loss of 10% of my excess weight, Im closer to 30% !!!!! He cleared me for all foods and exercise. Im so glad I did this!!!!

I had no issues getting my requirements in. In fact the PA told me to slow down a little bit at first. My surgeon told me yesterday to fit as much Fluid as I can through the pipes!! LOL

Holy cow!!!! Look at you! Un-be-lievable!

Ok so, thanks for a great video, like always. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering why I hadn't seen an update.

First, I have that same shirt! Lol.

I have also lost family members, and those dreams are truly... unusual, aren't they? I'm not a superstitious person, but there is SOMETHING in those types of dreams.

Thanks, man.

You will hit stalls here and there. I been a little stuck between 247 and 249 lately. Gonna try more calories on the days I work out, I think I might be putting my body into starvation mode.

      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.
