My PCP referred me 2 weeks ago, but I don't meet with the surgeon until Sept. 14. This is something I have been wanting to do for about a year now, but there were no approved surgeons on my last insurance plan.

Congrats on your surgery how are you feeling? (besides hungry? lol) I think a lot of it is probably head hunger.. but I'm sure some of it is actual hunger too.. just hang in there! When I went to full liquids, besides the Protein shakes, I was allowed to have thinned cream of wheat -which I loved!! who would think cream of wheat would seem so exciting haha! It was also really good with some chocolate Protein powder sprinkled in... they (nutritionist) suggested sprinkling Protein Powder into just about everything.. also sugar free apple sauce, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello (sf Jello was way too sweet to me, so I wasn't able to do that), sf or no sugar added popsicles, thinned babyfood (couldn't bring myself to do that), or thinned and blended Soups. I used the magic bullet a lot to blend up Soups and thinned them with Water or skim milk. I also used no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast, because sometimes the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder just seemed to heavy in my stomach..that got easier as time went on. When I started adding more "real" foods, one of my favorites to put in the magic bullet or food processor was cooked turkey or chicken breast, Tomato sauce, and cottage cheese (it has more protein than ricotta) and some shredded cheese. I'd just blend up a small amount-- maybe 1/4-1/2 cup... and would only be able to eat 1/4 cup for quite a while anyway. It tasted so good-- like eating a Pasta dish without the Pasta, or a calzone without the dough.

I had surgery on the 7/11 and was supposed to have my post op on 7/19 but didn't make it cuz I ended up back in hospital.. But long story short I had it today so a little over two weeks.. But I'm down 27lbs.. I notice it in my legs and arms and face but barely in my stomach area even tho I notice it in the way my clothes fit.. Regardless I'm so happy I made the right decision!! Thanks everyone on here for helping me with my journey along the way!!

Yes, smells set me off as soon as I got home! And I'm glad you mentioned how tired you are after simple tasks, because I feel the same way. Taking my daughter to school in the morning sets me back hours. I guess I have more of these than I expected! ????

I'm eight months out from surgery and have surpassed my initial weight loss goal. I may lose a little more. I'm trying to talk myself into maintenance but it's hard to make that transition
I'm 35 years old. Sw: 250. Cw:123. Height 5'6

I've lost a bit more now. Definitely very close to the least I want weigh.
