You always hear the saying "you didnt gain it overnight, its not gonna dissappear over night"

Well....

It really is dropping overnight!!!

May 12th i had my first consult with the Dr and i weighed in at 380

May 26th I had pre-op testing and i weighed in at 375

June 2nd was surgery day and i weighed in at 363

June 5th i weighed in at 362.1

June 6th i weighed in at 359, then right before i went to bed i was 357...i drank alot too...hehe

June 7th TODAY!! This morning i weighed in at 355.2.

I cant believe it. Im gonna stop weighing daily tho because i know this will eventually stop/platuae(sp) and then i will be bumbed. Im drinkin plenty of Water and doing what im suppost to but because of my pain im not excercising yet. The only difference i notice right now is that my double chin is slowly melting away. I cant believe this!!!!

I know im losing a little more than alot of people because im bigger and have more weight to lose......im so excited!!!!

Congratulations, Krystal! You're right not to let it go to your head, though, since it WILL slow down once you're on solid food. It might even reverse itself a little. But WOW, you are so far ahead of the game right now! :)

great work! Don't be discouraged once you hit solids, because most people find they even gain a little back when they hit that stage.

Hey Krystal-

How are you feeling today? We had our surg the same day and I'm doing great. I'm going back to work tomorrow. If you had asked me thursday tho... I really had wondered what I had gotten myself into. Friday was a whole lot better and the days have just continues to progress.

I haven't weighed myself yet. I thought about it when I got out of the shower this am, thought that I'd wait until my hair dried and then boom, Breakfast. Protein shakes and h20. I'll try to remember in the am. Hope I'm doing as great as you are. I feel like I'm getting so much Protein (2 oz/hr) that I don't have room for much else. I'm sure not hungry.

My port's on my left side and I'll swear that the Dr placed it to ride just at the rib line. It hurts like a son of a gun. Hope it's just the swelling and that once the muscle is use to it, I won't notice it.

Keep on keeping up what your doing!

      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.
