This probably falls into the TMI category, but what the heck. I had my first "never trust a fart" incident today while walking home from work. There was nothing I could do but soldier on and deal with the situation when I got home. I'd heard of this phenomenon and didn't really know how it could happen--until it did.




On another topic, I know that we are all coming up on our one-year anniversaries. It would be really nice if everyone could check in on their anniversary dates and let us know how they are doing, perhaps with a recent photo. Just a thought! I'm the last of the February group (because my surgery was actually on March 2), but I promise to do so when my date comes!


Lol, while I havenโ€™t had that yet since surgery, there have been some close calls.
My surgiversary will be in 3 days, so Iโ€™ll try to remember to post Thursday with a before and a current.

My surgiversary is tomorrow. Knowing me I'll forget to hop on lol. It's been a great year, but I'm definitely at a standstill. I am not sure what the next move is... I guess really really paying attention to my food and maybe now introducing some exercise. I'm leaning more towards being vegan from being vegetarian... I'm going to see how that goes dietwise. I feel that maybe going vegan will actually help me with my Protein intake as it has to be more balanced in diet.

Onwards and upwards!

edit: It says my surgery date was 5th on the sidebar, but I'm pretty sure it was 4th. I need to double check now haha.

edit again: nope - it WAS 5th Feb. ok, well I'm 2 days early.

Hi all, so my original surgery date was 1/31/20 but had to be pushed due to having kidney stones and two procedures back to back in order to take care of them. My new date is next Wednesday, 2/12/20 in the morning! Canโ€™t believe itโ€™s almost here, finally after all this time!! Iโ€™m down 20lbs, currently at 252lbs. Surgery will be at GBMC with Dr. Bello. Im having the sleeve done. Iโ€™m getting nervous but excited at the same time. Iโ€™m ready for the next phase of this journey to start.

      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.
