16 Months Post Op Update!



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

It's been awhile. I lurk from time to time on my phone but I am not on here as much as I once was. Life and work is hectic but all around enjoyable. In the last 16 months of my life I have grown so much as a person in my personal life and also in my career. In the 16 months since my surgery and I am still loving my decision. I feel that with my weight loss I have been able to have the energy and confidence to accomplish all these changes in my life. In the last 4 months I have:

Reached and bypassed goal #2 of 140. I am currently at 135 and have even gotten as low as 133!

I weigh less than my husband and have and can wear his size 32 jeans! (I have not been able to do this since 2000)

Fit and successfully wear a SIZE 6 pencil skirt!! See picture below!!!!

**All of this WITHOUT a workout routine! Thank you SLEEVE!**

Thank you thank you all! I'm still shocked to this day when I look at the pictures side by side! I remember with tears in my eyes being on the other side just hoping that someday I could have a before & after not just a before. Now I have not one but 2 afters! (goals 1&2) everyone on that other side just keep your chin up and those that may be struggling or in a stall just keep focused you can & will succeed! Thank you all!

      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.
