I weighed myself for the first time since having surgery on 2/27 and am already down 13.2 pounds! I weighed 299.8 on the morning of surgery and now weigh 286.6! This is so crazy because I was thinking I had only lost like five pounds[emoji23] what did you lose your first couple of weeks?

I had surgery exactly one week ago and have lost 10 lbs. This is definitely the fastest I have ever or will ever lose weight. LOL It slows down from here big time. The first week after surgery should be called the Golden Week. Haha.

copied from my weight diary

aug 34 lbs

sept 10 lbs

oct 11 lbs

nov 9 lbs

dec 8 lbs

jan 10 lbs

feb 9 lbs

middle of august thru first dec i worked out 7 days a week for a little over an hour. NOT A Good Idea

hurt myself in dec, pulled muscle lost 3 weeks in the gym and returned slightly more sane than before and now i take tues and sat. off from the workouts to recover and i feel much better for it.

i truly believe that this surgery is second chance to have a life i had given up on having and i just cant waste of a moment of that "golden year" after surgery when dropping the pounds is as easy as it will ever be.

      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.
