Thank you so much! I am losing about three pounds a week. I have learned that if you stay away from carbs ( sounds aweful I know, but it's completely doable after surgery) eat and drink your Protein and drink your water!!! Add some good workouts, the weight WILL come off! Anyone that is about to have surgery, set realistic goals and when you hit that small goal, make another small goal! I tend to get disappointed easily and so this method worked great for me. Everyone is different too so don't compare... I seriously though I was going to be that girl that wouldn't lose anymore... that week three stall freaked me out. I mean I didn't lose a lb hat whole week and then bam! Started losing again! This surgery rocks. Just stay focused ya so worth it! Good luck to everyone we are all on this journey together

You look amazing! I'm so happy for you! I'm floored by your progress at the 2 month mark. Our stats are similar, and I intend on starting back at a running program as soon as my body tells me it's ready (I'm only 6 days post op). I'd be thrilled if my progress is anything like yours. How soon after surgery did you start running, and if you don't mind me asking, how much are you typically running and how many days a week? You go girl!!!

      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.
