3 mo. post op. Still doing good. I am down about 45lbs since surgery on 2/12/18.

Still working on Protein and getting enough Water in and taking my Vitamins on time. I set an alarm for it and it worked at first but I sometimes ignore it.

No complications (knock on wood) and I feel fine.

Cravings are still close to gone. Every now and then I will get a craving but it usually passes after drinking water or a liquid.

I don't really care for sweets, including pop. I cannot believe i am saying that because I was a heavy snack food junkie.

I am getting out and enjoying the weather as much as i can. Every step counts.

I can tolerate pretty much any food that i have tried. I constantly looking for healthy recipes, as I am trying to stay away from fried and frozen foods. Drop some recipes if you know of any (that are good).

I still get kinda frustrated after being full after 3 bites, i sit there and stare at the food like really? lol

I plan on buying a bike and hitting the trail that i walk on in the morning. We shall see.

Congratulations! It sounds like you’re working it and it’s paying off!
I’m two months out. I feel surprised and frustrated sometimes when I get full so quickly, even when I’m working hard to pace myself over 30 minutes. But I keep listening to my body!
I have tons of recipes. What kind of things do you like?

      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.
