25 lbs in less than 2 weeks!



Recommended Posts

Excited to have gotten on the scale in the morning to see that I have officially lost 25.2 lbs in 1 week 6 days! 18.2 is post-op.

I've never lost more than 10 lbs and that's always been from getting sick (always gained it back) so this is big for me! I have a LONG way to go though so I can't be too happy, haha.

Thank you! My mom actually tried to have the surgery stopped behind my back not trusting me.. but she did hire a nurse our family knows to stay with me last week which was great (even though she had originally promised to take off a few days from work to stay with me).

Thats awesome!!

Thanks :)

What are you doing to lose that much? Any advice? I'm apart 5 months post op and I have lost nothing.

Answered your question in your other thread - I don't exactly know why other than that your age and gender are a factor (I'm a 21 year old male); it's actually kind of strange to me because I'm not even getting my full nutrition in.

      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.
