18 months post VSG

~155 lbs, BMI 27

Reflux (GERD) increased in intensity but I'm working on it. Mystery of dumping continues- c'est la vie... Gave up a few foods for a while to see if it helps both. We'll see.

Not many other changes from the prior month. This looks like maintenance for me.

Reflux is not nice, but obesity can cause so many more serious conditions than that.

You look fan-bloody-tastic and I bet you feel great too (reflux notwithstanding!). 😃

You look amazing. You’re my inspiration. Thank you for giving a newbie hope. I’m pre-op going on month 3 of 6.... Oh and it’s my first time posting here. 3 more months to go feels like eternity to me.

You are likely either in maintenance or a on long plateau, some call these set points.

These are HARD to break past.

My suggestion is check in with your team on how to get through to the other side

I was told LOTS of exercise... Not what anyone wants to hear... i know 😳

Then really buckle down, go back to clran basics etc...

but if you are satified where you are (and your team is also) do it at your own reasonable pace

Good Luck

      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.
