well it's been 1 month and I've lost 40 pounds... I go to get my little girl in 32 days and I am hoping to have lost another 30 by then. She's 12 and has never seen me under 300 pounds. What can I expect in the 2nd month? Do I keep losing or does it flatten out? Anyway guys I've started eating real food agin. I cook 4oz of chicken but never eat moe than 2, which is such a change from 6 weeks ago...

I haven't had any of the "head Hunger" but when people eat around me the smell makes me miss food but I don't get hungry... not yet anyway. Thanks guys for all the support. 19 days out and I'm down 24 pounds.

Well guys it has been 11 days since surgery. I have lost 18 pounds and 1 pant size... I dare say it has been a good experience so far. The only thing I don't like is the Bariatric Meal drinks I have to drink (7 a day). I am really looking forward to eating real food again even though I'm not really hungry right now. I have to say the sugar free popcicles have been a God send.... Without them I would have probably killed someone by now. Well gotta get back to being a loser... hehe

well fellas it looks like everything went the way it should. My liver was beautiful to quote Dr. Trotter and the surgery went great. The only issue I have is having to drink so much powdered mix everyday. It seems like I have to drink 1 oz an hour and it gets old quick... Anyway thx for all the well wishes and I'm glad I made this choice.

Thanks guys for all the good words. I'm not getting cold feet or second thoughts, just a little nervous. Never had real surgery before so it's a little scary knowing that I can't go back after Thursday. Any thing I should be aware of that you only find out after the surgery?

Guys, my surgery is Thursday 3/26/15 and I'm really nervous about my liver being to big. My doctor didn't put me on a special diet and doesn't really seem to be bothered by it. I just don't want him to cut me open and say oh jeez that liver is to big I can't operate.... It's been 8 months since I started this trip and I don't want to have it all fall apart right here at the end... Any encouraging words would be greatly appreciated. Billy 6'2" 375 lbs 33 yrs old
