October 28, 2016 I was 470 pounds and started my 2 week pre-op diet. Surgery was Nov 9th.
Today is April 29, 2017 and I was 320 pounds today. 150 pounds gone. Another 70 or so left to lose.
Surgery was the best decision I've made in years. My life has improved in so many ways.


Great job! What's your goal weight? What your surgeon's prediction?

Goal weight I would like is 240-250. My surgeon never gave me a goal weight.

I started swimming in November. I go before work 5 days a week for about 30 minutes. I was going to add weightlifting but I pulled a muscle in my arm a month ago moving in to my new house so I'm sticking with just cardio for a while.

      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.
