feeling pretty good but....



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery on 8-4 and my first fill on 9-5. I am exercising almost every day from 30 min to 1 hr. I have a shake for Breakfast, a very small lunch and about 1 1/12 cup for dinner. I feel like I could use another fill to help curve hunger in between meals. I have always been a snacker. So that has been my hardest part. I am finally in onederland at 198 (-17 lbs). I know it will come off slow and that is fine with me. In general, I feel good. So here is my question. Is there anything else I could be doing to speed up the process of becomming healthier?

So you want to lose fat. What type of exercise are you doing?

I know some doc's say no Snacks but I believe in healthy, planned snacks. I eat 1/4 nuts, lowfat cheese sticks, beef Jerky for snacks. It keeps me from getting too hungry inbetween meals. I lost 107 pounds in about 10 months. Keep up the excersise for sure! It may take a few fills to get you to a good place- try to be patient, I know it's hard. Best wishes.

      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.
