Congratulations and thanks for all your inspiring and encouraging posts as well as the fun challenges!

I've been on here since Apr '18, about 6 weeks after my surgery. Wish I'd found the site sooner!

I've only been here myself about a year and a half, but I second Orchids and Dragon' s emotion, I too have found it a wonderful support and information site!

10 years. I wanted surgery long ago, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. Not until I became disabled and got Medicare would I have surgery. I'm now just over 4 months out and 65 pounds down. Wish I could have had surgery sooner, but better late than never!

Congratulations @GreenTealael !

I have always appreciated your humor and insights here in my year or so of lurking reading.

Raising a toast to you now,

with a big bottle of endangered glacier water. πŸ˜€

Cheers!

And I'll join in with my Ensure Blue Raspberry Electrolyte powder drink, don't think I'm urinating enough, maybe the moisture is going into perspiration so this hour I'm drinking it 2 ounce cups at a time. Gosh I do miss being able to drink enough at a time to feel truly hydrated. Ah I knew in my mind that I would have restrictions. See every one else talks about "food funerals" , I mourn my pint and quart bottle bye-byes. Didn't realize the joy of a free and easy swallow!🍢

@frust8Nice to see you updated your stats! I love following your progress! But, wasn't your surgery Sept 5? It says the 4th. I only remember your date because it's my birthday!

I started reading posts a couple of months before my surgery but don't think I actually joined until after surgery. I don't post much but do find much support from others. I'm almost at my doctor's goal, but think my personal goal will be a little lower.

I tried to bring GT back some glacier, but it didn’t make it! 😩

      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.
