Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

So far I haven't seen any difference in my clothes though. :-( So that troubles me.

Potpieiii-if you are like more I had some pretty tight clothes, especially jeans so I'm still not seeing too much difference after 26 pounds. It will come! I am now seeing a difference in my underwear lol

I'm doing great, no trouble with getting in my Protein and my fluids. I'm using Premier Protein chocolate. I usually pour it in my shaker bottle, add 4-6 oz of Water and a scoop of Protein Powder so it then has 55 grams of protein and I drink half in the morning, half in the afternoon.

My nurse advanced me to puréed on Thursday and now I feel like I'm starving all the time. I didn't have hunger before on liquids.

Have you done any measurements with a tape? It's the strangest thing…my hips are down 1 inch, bust is the same, but my waist is down 3 inches. So no real difference in clothes despite 20 lbs lost.

Been at 252 since a week out but also that time of month is here is that makes a difference. Haven't had many issues since surgery able to eat well sometimes I get concerned that I can eat too well if that makes sense. Excited for the new me! Still taking pain meds at least once a day would like to quit taking but they help me through the day so I am not so uncomfortable and able to do housework .
