I was 308 in early September. Surgery was Nov 18 and I was 287. Just over a month since surgery and I'm 250.5 today. Haven't taken any "after" pictures yet, but I will.

58 lbs, and 11 BMI points, gone forever!

Recidivist, you look great! I can see you are a vocalist--has losing the weight changed your singing voice at all? I sing in a large local chorale and while I've only lost 20 pounds I find my breath control is easier. But I'm certainly not a soloist like you are so I'm not too concerned about sounding different.

As you can see, I am also in a large chorale. That was one brief solo at last year's Christmas concert!

The surgery has totally changed my voice, and not for the better. I find that I no longer have the power or breath support I used to have. (I was a belter with huge high notes.) A voice teacher told me it's because the surgery involved some of the muscles used in singing and that my voice could be rehabilitated, but I haven't had the time. I can still sing, but not the way I used to. That has actually been one of the most disappointing side effects of surgery. 😞

I’m quite grumpy about my progress lately. 340 after getting home from surgery vs 260 which I have stalled at now for a full two months.

      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.
