    volfan82 got a reaction from Carmen Smith-Boyd in 8 weeks out post op   
    Today I am 8 weeks post op and I have lost 71 lbs total, 20 during two week liquid phase pre op and 51 during the 8 weeks after surgery. Best decision of my life. Was heading for double knee replacements and could not walk 50 feet because of severe pain. I was ready to quit work but now I am walking 2 to 3 miles a day, Still have pain in knees but getting better. Feel fantastic overall. I read alot of the negative issues people are having but wanted to share my story.

    Everybody feels regret at some point but you need to start thinking of down the road after your weight loss or something to keep your mind off the present and focus on your goals. Like I said earlier, It WILL get better. I went out to eat last night and looked up menu on line and knew what to order before i got there, Jyust ate slow and enjoyed the conversation more instead of just the food. I had a 6 oz salmon and broccoli and was just fine.

    Things will get better ,Do you have a counselor or someone with your hospital/doctor to talk to ? I am able to gulp several big swigs of Water now and not hurt, I was concerened about just "Sipping" myself but I promise you will be able to. Just give it some more time and keep on keeping on.

    I am using the Bariatric Advantage chocolate and vanilla Protein. Did not sample many others but these have very little aftertaste especially after adding a little frozen fruit, But I have just finished my first day of my 14 total. Surgery is Dec 13.

    Was just notified today about being moved from November 20 to December 13. Really upset at the delay. Readfy to roll. I am 51 year old male starting at 344 lbs, Used to be so atheltic and now I can't even walk due to my knees. Looking forward to a great future. I am self pay, Was denied by insurance twice since 2010 and really glad I was now because I would have had a lap band instead.....
