One month update, surgery on 1-25



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give a one month update. I had surgery on 1-25

with Dr. Aceves in MX. I lost about 8 pounds prior to surgery and

as of Monday 2-22 I have lost a total of 47 pounds and 19.25 inches.

I'm sure loosing that much weight that fast has to do with me being

a guy and having a starting weight of 362 pounds. But I'm still proud

to see it coming off.

I'm getting back into clothes that have been tucked away in my closet

for sometime.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for the information you have shared

and continue to share. When I was invited to site in December I was

considering Lapband and quickly changed my mind.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Gary

Congrats Gary! The numbers are all relative : ) the fact that they are going down is awesome! I figure it could take me six months to lose 50 pounds but so long as the number keeps getting smaller, I will be happy with my decision.

Have to say tho, 47 pounds??? WOW!! You must feel amazing!

      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.
