Hey everybody!

I'm 23 years old and from the GREAT state of Texas.

Here are my stats.

350- Highest weight May 2016

342-Weight at consultation June 2016

336- 08/16/2016 pre op diet start

309- Surgery date 8/23/16

299- 8-31-2016 1 week post op.

I'm down 51 pounds from my highest weight and under 300 for the first time in about 4 years.

As far as surgery goes I had my surgery by Dr. Roberts in Dallas Tx. I had the VSG around noon and was moved into recovery for about 4 hours then sent home. The first week was a lot of gas pain but by day 5 it finally left! I haven't cheated on my diet one time and don't plan on it however I've noticed my surgeons guidelines are extreme compared to others

I won't be on puréed until my 4th week and regular food until my 8th week..

Well done, boss.

That is some impressive weight loss you did prior to surgery.

You are doing a really good thing for yourself with this. Getting into shape and staying that way will reward you in many life-enriching ways.

Heck, my dr seems to be harder than anyone else. His is 3 weeks everything. And a 14 day fast. Ive seen some people didnt have to fast, ive seen 10 days, but hardly no 14 day. Im going to have to lock myself in a closet when i start this fast in a couple of weeks. Did anyone have a feast before fasting? I wanna go to my favorite restaurant and eat and have a couple of martinis, and have a devilish dessert.

I had a steak night and a beer the day before I started my pre-op diet. I wish it woulda been tacos lol. I think it's productive to get that last meal in before changing your life but with that being said don't eat something so terrible it's gonna take a week or two to work off.

I am 4 days post op now , he also said I did not need to add Protein till my 2nd week and on here many people are chugging the Protein day 1 post op

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

I was on clear the first week and I barely got 20 grams a day in it was so nasty. I've been drinking the premier protien drinks this week and getting 60 grams a day in. Wish I would have gotten the unflavored powder to add to creamed Soup and oatmeal this week. But these drinks are still awesome in flavor and small enough to get down

I know this surgeon seems to have a radically different approach, but for me, getting enough protein in early was a key to my easy recovery and success so far. Protein is critical for healing and for weight loss.

If you go without protein for a couple of weeks you are going to feel awful.

I am on my post op diet too. Mine is very strict...almost 4wks and am just getting into very soft foods. It's hard, but the dr is just making sure your insides heal well. Its hard though...I feel your frustration.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
