3 Month Post-op Doc Visit



Recommended Posts

Met with my surgeon this morning for my 3 month post-op appointment. A few weeks ago I had all my labs drawn (all 10 vials of them!!) and everything was back and OMG I can't believe it, it was all GREAT!!! NO supplements at all!! WOOHOO!!! Still have to keep up with my Protein and also my daily Vitamin but otherwise nothing else!! She also said she was very happy with my progress and everything was great! I also went and saw the NUT today and she also was very happy with my progress! She looked up on her charts and says my "goal" weight should be 152 so MY goal is staying at 150! Today at the doctors office I weighed in at 192.7 but of course I am following my scale at home! So after all the good news this morning I decided to go a "treat" myself with new clothes! hehe I found brown knee high boots FINALLY and even better was they were on sale for TEN DOLLARS!!!!!! WOOHOO!! I also grabbed another pair of tights and another pair of workout pants, that have a drawstring so they should last me longer! The crazy part was I found a super cute dress and I remember my husband saying something about me wearing more dresses so I figured I would try it on. I grabbed the XL and went to try it on. It fit okay, seemed a little big so I figured I might as well try the Large and just see how much more I have to go until I get into it. OMFG IT FIT!!!!!!!!!!! It didn't just fit, it fit WELL!!!! I was in a 2X when I started my journey just a mere 3 months ago and now I'm in a Large!! HOW FREAKING AWESOME! I also got a cute "v day" shirt that was also a large!!!

      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.
