:tt2: Hello all, I've been doing good, I'm down 53 lb's now since 9/15/08 and is doing real good. I feel so much better I can't believe how 53lbs could make such a difference, but it did. There for awhile I thought I'd never feel good again, but after 6 weeks I started feeling like a new person. I'm so happy I had this surgery, I was afraid but I think it was the best thing I ever done, I wish my insurance would have paid years sooner. Love and Hugs Bobbie:thumbup::whatchutalkingabout:wub::laugh::mellow::laugh::cool2: P.S. I've had two fills since surgery too :wub:)

:thumbup: Melisa, Wow that's a hard one, I think the most important thing is to follow your doctors orders, and don't get discouraged if you don't lose right away, sometimes yous stay the same weight for awhile. It's gonna come off, and the way I see it is well we took years to put this on our bodies, so it might take awhile for it to come off, but slow is better, if you lose it too fast then your skin hangs and I really don't want to have another surgery for that.

Be patient and follow your diet and everything will happen the way it should. Love and Hugs Bobbie:w00t:

      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.
