Was 198.8 this morning

It’s been rough, I had my gallbladder out on April 2 and still can’t eat normal

When I try to eat Protein like we are supposed to first my stomach hurts and I get diarrhea sometimes almost immediately. So I have been eating more veggies (but then I am hungry) but it seems to be working I am down a total of 31 + pounds since aug 22

Can’t go back to the gym till I see the surgeon on may 22 but have been waking

Also will get my cpap for my very mild sleep apnea in 1 ½ weeks so hopefully that will

also help as my pulmonary doc says the sleep apnea could also be messing with my diet and metabolism

it’s been a long road but things are starting to look up--- won’t be able to wear the short shirt this summer but look out new years eve 2012

Thanks for listening

Congratulations on reaching your milestone! Sorry to read of your most recent surgery...I am also dealing with some unexpected complications, but I am taking one day at a time.

Hope you feel better real fast!

Jealous! Is you band too tight? My doctor says if I can't eat 3 oz of solid Protein I am too tight. If you can eat veggies it sounds like you can eat mushie foods (cooked veggies are kind of mushie). Taking out .1-.2 cc's will be better for you than keeping the band too tight and then not being able to eat protein which will keep you full longer.

      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.
