Holla! Went to Sea World today with my family. We were there from open until close with my sons (3 & 6 year olds). It's amazing how miserable walking around was 67 pounds ago. Today I could walk around with no problem. I fit on all the rides, even the kid ones, and in all of the chairs. Heck I even fit in the bathroom stall. So amazing. There was a dance party at the end for the kids and I danced the whole time with boundless energy even after having walked around and chased kids for almost 12 hours. This is awesome. I attached two photos. One from today and one from our last vacation in August.

This is exactly what I am talking about. YOU my friend are being such a school yard bully that you are correcting the grammar on the headline of the original post. SMH, this is a huge disappointment.

I was so fearful I remember sitting in the hospital bed and just wondering what in the heck am I about to do to myself. I was so fearful that there was no going back, and no way to undo what I was doing to my body. But just before the surgery the nurse came to talk to me and he had actually been sleeved year earlier with his wife. He started to talk to me about all the blessings that came his way and all the health benefits that he was experiencing the better relationship with his wife and activities he was able to do. And then he showed me a picture of himself from before where he was so morbidly obese, and so sick looking that he looked like he would make it many more years. That got me started thinking that I may not be able to do what I was about to do to my body, but I also couldn't undo death and I couldn't get back years lost with my children and all the fun things that I can share with them if I didn't make myself better. It was in that moment that I knew there was no turning back, my mind was set! Even after getting hepatic vein thrombosis postsurgery and being in the hospital with such pain that I felt like I was dying, I still have had no regrets. My time with my family has been extended, my quality of life has been improved, and I feel good about myself for the first time in years!

I run every day 2.5-3 miles. Also walk half a mile Twice per day. I have a 5K race coming up next weekend but after that's over I'll do weights I will alternate weights and running every other day.

I have the myoplex lite which has forever ruined me on the taste and smell of cake. I have the true results brand. The vanilla is awful but strawberry and chocolate are great. I also have now foods whey Protein isolate. It is unflavored so you can add it to anything. Warm or cold. My fav post op one is the Protein Shots. They taste awful (fruit punch) but at 2.5oz. 26g protein and 110 calories they are perfect. She. I am not making my protein for the day I drink one. Two gulps and done. And they stave hunger. Sooooo triple bonus. I can't drink a whole shake now. I am 3 months out. I recommend the unflavored. Put it in Jello, yogurt, broth, whatever. Just put it in after slightly cooled so it doesn't curdle. Also, it mixes completely without the gritty taste.

They really just want you to shrink your liver. Mine was two Protein Shakes per day and one meal of lean meat and green veggies. I was able to eat all the way to the day before surgery. The liquid diets are harsh when you have a normal tummy. Any Soup that isn't chunky should work. I lost 15lbs the two weeks before with nothing as extreme as the liquid diet. Just shows you how different doctors are. You might feel more full with Protein shakes than with soup though.

Omg omg!!!! Approved today!!!! Thank you God!!!!

You went from obese to just overweight right? That's awesome!!! Be proud!

Sorry should have said unflavored by Now foods. You should get multiple flavors and definitely try the Soups. You will need to get used to some form of Protein substitute or you will go bald and lose all muscle pretty quick.

Come on the Jello is a great idea. I am going to do that. 3 months post op I am burned out on Protein shakes and bullets. Next time get the unflavored. You can mix with broth or slightly cooled oatmeal for a more savory option. Also Bariatric Advantage has crisps, Soups, and decent bars. I have mixed the unflavored with Decaf tea and it was passable.

I had the same experience, but I went to true results after stressing about it and since they were so experienced they were able to do all of that paperwork with the insurance company for me. It's very frustrating. If you meet the minimum requirements, don't worry. It will happen.

Surgery date 12/6, presurgery weight 267, surgery day 251, today 204. Total loss 63, stalled for a week. Even after starting to train for a 5k, daily running, I am stuck at 204. I feel like the universe is against me getting to onederland. Sniff.
