Wow you look amazing! Congratulations! I have had many complications and haven't been able to tone up or exercise. I just had my 5th bowel obstruction surgury. How did you manage to stay tone? Any suggestion?

I drank a lot of Water & Powerade zero, I walked 14 miles a day, and wore compression onesies religiously!

I wore them all the time except while sleeping. Combined with exercising and the right diet and a lot of Water intake it just worked

I really love coming on here to give updates because I remember how I thought it would be impossible to be healthy and get fit and feel good after everything, but seeing photos of others who have undergone the same grueling process - gave me so much more drive!

      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.
