Hi everyone! My name is Trish, I am 33 years old and am about to be getting married on May 15th. I had my surgery on 8/25/09 starting out at 242 lbs...

I knew from the day of surgery this was gonna work and had no doubts about it... as of today (7 months and 1 week post surgery) I am down 89.2 lbs... in a size 10 clothes and to reach my original goal have about 17 pounds to lose. I will say that I am thinking about adjusting my goal by 10 more lbs to put me at 125. I guess I will make that choice once I hit my 135 original goal. I am happy to meet all of you and wish everyone the best in their journey!

      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.
