Weight Loss Finished!



Recommended Posts

Went to surgeon yesterday. Aside from complimenting me, he shrugged his shoulders and basically said there is nothing else we need to do.

Don't expect much more weight loss,anything more will be a bonus. If anything, he said he would be concerned if I loose anything more significant because that would mean loss of vital tissue and muscle.

Body fat % well below 15.

So that's it, confirmed by the man himself...definitely on maintence mode now.

Only advice given was to continue the high Protein Shakes for Breakfast, other meals portions should not be larger than a deck of cards, Protein based, Water, Fiber, exercise....see you in September..

16 months total time.....

Truly inspirational...how often did you see your doc during the 16 months? Was it for follow-up or just fills? Just wondering. Thanks and Congrats!

Thanks...it's a very unsettling feeling....ther must be SOMETING I need to do, some type of goal. Just can't say that's it. It's over.

All I can do is stay wih the program which has become a habit now, and continue to exercise to be it and healthy.

You're such a lucky duck! And of course there's more to do- goals to set, accomplishments to....accomplish- they just don't need to be weight loss related! Run a 5k, build a table, learn how to do stained glass, learn Chinese....a few that come to mind....

Great job B52. I meet with the nutritionist in three months to go over maintanence. I dont think I am going to get an unfill. Im gonna see how I maintain with this, plus im still thinking I might do 5 more lbs or so.

Should be interesting to see how maintainence goes. I think its gonna be pretty much following the same rules for a very long time now.

Awesome! And it itsn't really over, it just continues. The same as it was. Nothing really changes. Keep on going, just don't look for losses on the scale now. Look for non-gains.

Thank You...that's just about what my Dr said also....it just continues, don't expect much in the way of losses. He did not want to give me a unfil, he did not want to see any non gains also.

      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.
