I would check your protein amounts. You may need more of it. -
Doing better now that I am home. I feel a bit better every day.

August Sleevers Check In
barriej9 replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Made it home yesterday and the pain has not been too bad. I would recommend a pillow to put between you and the seat belt for the ride home. I am just walking and getting fluids in. -

I can't believe my day monday is getting so close. My pre surgery appointment went great and my doctor with happy with my weight loss. I spent yesterday getting my vitamins and medicines together. I just need to get a few food items and pack my bag. -
CRAP! Have I made a mistake before surgery?
barriej9 replied to MyKidsMom89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told that it it does not matter if your BMI goes under the 40 or 35 number. I was worried about that a few months ago but it should not effect you especially since you were already approved. -
Unflavored protein
barriej9 replied to sleevexcited's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just bought this one. They have free shipping. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/nature-best-isopure-isopure-zero-carb-unflavored-3-lb-powder/np-1184#.U-QTYqPQrKc -
Some of them do not taste so good. I would try spaghetti squash or making other veggies into noodles.

August Sleevers Check In

I can't wait for Monday to get here. I have lost a total of 2.5 inches on my pre op diet. I am waiting for thursday to get my updated weight at my pre op appointment. I think my new tummy shall be named Sasha. -
I can have decaf without a limit. It just has to have skim milk and sf sweeteners.

Does anyone know if you lose body hair as well? I have been wondering about this one.

Food Addict + Pre-Op Diet = Raging B**** :-(
barriej9 replied to Capegin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been snappy, loopy and weepy since I started my liquid diet. It is hard so I empathize with you. Can you have no chunk soup? If so I found that helps to take the edge off. Maybe a support group or therapist could help.Some days are better than others. I also have read that sugar is as addicting as heroine. -
Glad your surgery went well and you are on the mend.

I have lost 5 lbs since Monday on my pre-op diet.

Luckily my husband finds the pre-op food gross. Even my dog does not find it appealing;she no longer begs for food from me. Maybe label your things so they do not go for them.

Since Monday I have lost 5lbs and 1.5 inches on my diet. So ready to be done with it and have my surgery.

I am on two week all liquids and this is day 4. Having some g2 helps me if I feel weak. I have also cut back on activities. Keep drinking the fluids that helps me some as well.

Calling all August Sleevers!
barriej9 replied to Tracis weight loss journey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have not told my family. I would rather tell a perfect stranger than them. It has been a great debate whether or not to tell them. I do not know how they will react or what will happen. They like that I am obese. They have also sabotaged other weight loss attempts. One suggestion was to tell them the night before but I am having doubts about that. Also if I don't tell them now how would they react not have knowing from the get go. -
Myfitnesspal has a phone app. You can track your hips, waist, neck and weight. IT has been helpful to me for tracking my protein and calories. I can't wait for the waist and weight numbers to go down. (I am not sure how to measure my hips since I am all middle. )

starting to get nervous
barriej9 replied to sharie24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would love to be 140 but the doctor said expect to be about 180. The psychologist said shoot for the doctor's goal first and anything past that is a nice bonus.
