I had my gastric bypass surgery this last Jan 16th. I've had some minor startup problems and continue to have episodes where I just can't seem to eat for a few days, but other than that I'm feeling fine and am very happy that I decided to ask for help in my struggle to beat obesity.

I live in the Netherlands so I'm used to measuring my weight in kilograms. Today my scales showed that I had lost 45.7 kg, and then I realized that that actually took me past the 100 lbs lost mark. How awesome! For my surgeon, the surgery will be considered a succes in just another 10 kgs, but personally I would really be happy if i manage to shed another 25 to 30 kgs from now. Seen the rate at which I'm still going, I'm slowly starting to think that that is not entirely unrealistic.

Here's my before and now: IMG_20170517_183408_067.jpg

I'm at the gym 5 times a week for about an hour. That includes 1 bodypump class, and usually 4 times cardio, combined with some weighttraining. To change things up, i also try the occasional kickboxing class (on bag, not human opponent!).

      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.
