WOW!! Congratulations, you are doing fantastic and you look so good...you started at a low weight and lost a lot of weight quickly, do you mind sharing what your personal plan looks like, food intake,exercise etc.

I was wanting to know the same as wanda247. I had mine on 4-3-18 and I've lost 45 pounds. I know I have not done what I'm supposed to and should have lost more than what I have.. So hearing what you have done would really help

Thank you! I really stuck to the diet and 500 calorie limit. After two months I added a few things but still no carbs or sugar even now I try not to go over 1000 a day. I don’t eat beef or pork and haven’t in 20 years or so. I have a treadmill and some hand weights that I use but honestly I’m not good at sticking to it. I just wanted to make this work for me.

Thank you! I was wearing a size 18-20 jeans and XXL tops. I am now wearing a size 8-10 jeans and a Med-Large top. It is so weird looking at myself now and before.

I was told to try and loose as much as I could during the first six months because it would slowdown after that. So far it has proved to be true. I am loosing a pound or two a week now, but some weeks none.

I had never heard that, but I know that my lack of not losing is totally my fault. I went to the store today and bought me so many good and healthy foods to have and plenty where I won't get tired of the same things.

That is so great. I agree must be nuts looking in the mirror and wondering who the heck is looking back at you 😁😁😁

      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.
