I had Mine May 16th. Things are going slow. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I had mine for medical reasons. My starting weight was 200, but I’m only 5’1”.

How about you?

I started at 401 (May 2017). I had to do a year of supervised diet. I was 358 on surgery day. I was 329 on May 31. But I’ve only lost like 12/13 pounds since then. I was 316 yesterday, back to 317 today. I feel like I’ve been back and forth for the last 3/4 weeks. I feel like since I was heavier, I would lose quicker. Im thankful for what I have lost...but worried it won’t work.

My surgery was May 21 for medical reasons as well. I started at 212 and I’m down to 190. I wouldn’t say things are going slow. Any loss is still good. My eating habits have definitely changed and I don’t feel hungry. My problem is trying to get the amount of fluids in. I focus on Protein first but waiting after eating to start drinking any Fluid is hard. Sometimes I have to wait almost 2 hours before my stomach can tolerate any fluids.

      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.
