1 month Post op to the day and the total is....



Recommended Posts

Well guys I am exactly 1 month post op today and I weighed at the gym this afternoon. I am exactly 41 pounds down!!! I can not believe it. I am very tall and had alot to lose so I am just now starting to see the weight loss in my clothes and see it in certain areas of my body. I am so excited. I think I am starting to get a feel for how slow to eat and chewing. But then in a few weeks I go to solid foods so I am sure that will just stir it up again. Thank you to everyone for the last month and prior to that and all your support. :001_wub:

Congratulations!

Even when you trim down, expect your head to take a long time to catch up. I'm about 50 pounds down now, and my head STILL hasn't caught up, even though my clothes are just falling off me.

Whooo hooooo!!! You are doing so awesome! Did you take before pics? If so you should definitely take some comparison shots! The # on the scale is great but I actually recognized it in myself so much more when I saw the pics.

I'm so proud of you yay!

Thanks guys...

Dickson - nope no complications everything went really well. Just normal post op stuff

Christi - I plan on taking pics but I was afraid I wouldn't notice enough of a distance and get discouraged.

      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.
