So sorry to hear the frustration. When you know something is right for you and obstacles are placed in your way at every turn.. IT's HARD!! I have added you to my growing prayer list. What God has for you no man can stand in the way. Please hang tough. It took me a very long time from point of decision to point of surgery took almost a year. Be prepared.. when it goes to your insureance they may ask for a 6 month diet schedule. Your bariatric doc should have had you on that to begin with.. just in case the insurance asked for it. This site is positive and supportive so you've found one good thing in your journey. Hang in there!!

way to go.. I'm 2 months out and have not lost much since surgery. Actually I lost more during the pre op phase. I've just stared soft foods, but find I can eat almost everything except beef. I am focused on the protien and water and limited to no carbs. Excersise is my next goal

I'm asking.. what do you think has been the reaason for your sucess? Did you have a slow start?

I had the same experience. During my pre-op diet I ate at least a very small portion of protien and still lost the weight my doc needed me to lose. Do not go crazy stay away from the things that got you here, sweets and carbs. But get ready for several months of this.. The Post Op diet is not any better until your stomach heals.. Hang in there your moving into a life style change that takes time to adjust.

I am a 15 days post surgery. I started back to work and am feeling much better. I'm still very weak and I understand the blah feeling. I am focused on one thing at a time and that is getting the liquids in through the day. Not an easy task since we can't chug at this point. I find getting the water in and not giving into the blahs makes me feel better. Hang in there.. I hear its all worth it!!
