Recommended Posts

Well everyone I have come to a point where I am extremely happy with my size and my wife thinks I need to gain a few pounds back! LOL. I started my journey 02-24-10 and was at a whoppin 340lbs and thats after loosing 55 on my own, but I am at a wonderful 208. 32-33 inch waist pant and med.-lg shirts, I have seen people I havent seen in 6 or so months and they dont even reconize me AT ALL! My wifes uncle thought that she had remarried when we drove to Mississippi to see him, 132lbs in 7 months and I can honestly saw I have worked my @ss off in the gym and I am proud of myself and my weight loss. I have still not had bread, Pasta, or sweets!

Loosing was the easy part, now I have to figure out how to maintain. my wife thinks that I need to start adding back in "normal" people food but I am still worried I will start gaining weight back. Good luck to all the banders out there, if I can loose it everyone has hope!

Hopefully she isn't reading this but it doesn't matter what your wife thinks! All that matters is how you feel. If you don't miss the "normal" people food whatever that means, then don't risk it.

I never took any foods out of my diet except fastfood and soda.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
