I had surgery on 7/13/2016.
I weighed 331lbs. on 7/4/2016.
Today I weighed in at 281lbs. 50lbs. lost, I was feeling really great.
I had a post op follow up appointment that I specifically made with my surgeon after seeing his physicians assistant instead of him at the post op appointment. Today the P.A. asked me if I was eating bread or Pasta. I told her yes , but very little. She explained that if I ate more Protein and had vegetables and fruits I would lose weight faster. I do eat a cracker, a half piece of toast, or a spoon full of quinoa and brown rice. Not a portion a bite or two.
50 pounds in 5 weeks!
I told her that and she stuck to her guns as if I said nothing. I played along so I could leave, after being told to follow up with my primary care doctor with my medication management.
So my surgeon doesn't keep his appointments and his P.A.'s work off a script they can't deviate from....your fired.
I have been cleared for full physical activity and am eating normal food. My doctor is more than able to manage my care from here on and I have no reason to return to surgical practice.
I'm a lucky person, I have good insurance and I think thats what their after now. Money and data for an ongoing study.

Sounds like your doing a great job! Thanks for the insight

Pre op was hard. 2 weeks of following the plan to the T. Lost 16 pounds pre op. I walk alot. I started working out today as a matter of fact. Elliptical and free weights. I'm using a gym in my building. It's free for employees. So I don't have a trainer but they do have posters all around of different exercises. I eat alot of yogurt, Turkey burgers, and Protein bars. I can pretty much eat anything but those are my favorite. Once I have my 6 month follow up I will definitely try other foods. Oh and I like eating Cereal with no milk. Make sure you stick with your plan that your doctor give you. Good luck

Hey Tony. First well done that's amazing.
Would you mind telling me/us more about your experience? I'm starting my pre-op next Tuesday for my surgery 9/13. What eating and exercise plan have you been able to follow to achieve incredible results. And if you wouldn't mind....what have been the highs and the lows?
I'm sure all of use about to do the deed would appreciate some insight.
Again bravo on the achievement and good luck getting to you goal!

I had my first taste of wine 4 weeks ago. It was a half glass of pinot. Lemme tell you. I was really really buzzed. Lol
Lasted about 30 minutes. Since then I've dabbled in some martinis as well. Didn't get sick but definitely tipsy. If you go out have a dd ready. ????

Took me 4 months to think of doing this, but hopefully it will help someone else.
1 sugar-free pudding cup whatever flavor you like
+1 scoop of GENEPRO Protein Powder
=31gms Protein, 158cal and 11carbs
I can't taste the protein powder at all and it mixes in very smoothly. Not a fan of other protein powders so I can't speak for those. Genepro serving size is 1tbsp compared to other protein powder servings that equal 2tbsp so not sure how well those will work.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm 5 months post op and I definitely eat too fast. To the point where it causes pain. I keep telling myself to slow down but haven't yet. Smh! I will get there eventually.
