Almost 2mos out...25 Lost



Recommended Posts

:tongue_smilie:

So I have been faithful to my diet and exercise. I get around 900 cals per day I get at least 60 grams of Protein and around 90 grams of carbs. I work out everyday for 30mins some days 1 hour (I started about 3 weeks out) I feel that I am not meeting my doctors expectations for my weight loss-- he was not impressed with my loss. I guess that has made me more motivated which is good. I started out pre-op at 208 then got down to 190 the day of surgery. Today I am 165 and I am okay with that...kinda everyone else with this surgery has me beat with 30 and 40 pounds at 2mos. I don't really restrict my carbs as much as some people do though. It can really over stress your body if you stay in Ketosis for too long..so I would rather be healthy and loose slower I guess but it just makes me jealous how fast others are loosing!! LOL:laugh0: Just so you know I only eat good carbs like fruits..and soon more veggies I can't wait to have salad again but I'm a little afraid of it still they say it is hard to digest. I have small amounts of whole wheat toast and today I had whole wheat pita bread with hummus yum! I also like rice! SUSHI IS A FAV!

Anyways I am just wanting opinions and I won't judge if you don't agree with the carb thing.. be honest :001_rolleyes:

I think your loss is great.... It is quite similar to mine... 25 pounds at 7 weeks. Keep up the good work. ALSO... be sure you are getting enough Protein in... sounds like you are eating a lot of other stuff.

I believe one it is the carbs I only get about 700 calories max oon a heavy day usually its between 500-600 a day. Now as for as 25 lbs beinglost you started at 190 a lot of the 40lbs and more is from the heavier people no offense I am heavier at 3mos I am down 22% off my body and around 8 weeks there is stalls you will be great

Same here, sleeved 6/8 and down about 27.5 lbs. Do what feels manageable for you. This is a long term change. For me, too much restriction sets me up for failure.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
