6 Week Follow Up



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my 6 week follow up and my first opportunity to get a fill. When I weighed in I was down 21 lbs in 6 weeks. Not bad. That averages 3.5 lbs a week. So far so good.

I am currently happy with my level of restriction. I am counting calories and going 4 days week (at least) to the gym. So I think for right now it was the right move to not get a fill. My surgeon was fine with that as long as I am losing the weight.

There are many ways to get to the same destination in weight loss...and right now I feel I am on a good path. :)

Great Thee-o. Sounds like you have a good plan going. I will have my 6 week check up on july 5th. I am down 12 lbs at 4 weeks. I actually don't feel like I have any restriction and I have not had a fill yet. Keep up the great work.

I didn't get a fill until 6 months out. My doc said as long as you are losing you don't need it.

Thanks for the update - very motivating :)

      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.
