I'm losing weight and the Royals are in the World Series after 29 Year Drought! What a great 2014!!!

Wow, I can't believe you've lost 50+ lbs already, that's amazing! How have you felt since surgery?

Yep, down 56 lbs since starting Pre-Op diet on Sept 2nd Bro!. It hasn't been easy though. I'm finally able to get up and down and sit for longer periods without pain. My biggest challenge so far is getting protein in and getting some energy. I have to force myself back to doing some cardio so I can get back in the game. Feels like catch 22: no energy tough to exercise; no exercise = limited energy!

Is it tough to get enough Water in? My doctor wants me to get 80 oz in per day and I have a had time doing that before surgery.

Also-how has the hunger been?

It was in the beginning but at almost 5 weeks out I think it's gotten a lot easier. I try to get 64oz of fluids per day. I think I probably get closer to 80 though.

No hunger. That part blows my mind. Guys on here have said this though. I just thought..."Yeah right..I'll be hungry!" Nope. Guys were spot on! I really have to remind myself to eat. Since the surgery eliminates the area in the stomach generating all the hunger sensations...you really won't feel hungry!
