6 MONTHS SURGAVERSARY!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I havent been posting much here but I have been lurking almost everyday, On the 23rd I will be 6 months since surgery and I have lost a total of 71 pounds I havent changed my ticker yet.

I have to say its been the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel great and I love losing weight!

I always have my Protein Drink every morning and I do try and eat mostly Protein every day, I also eat other things I shouldnt,lol. But I dont do it on a regular basis. My Dr told me that I can eat what ever I want cause I will only eat very little , its what you drink that is important.

I work out about 3 times a week and I walk about 4 times a week, I just started lifting weights cause my arms are huge!

I am in a size 10 pants and I cant remember when I was last in that size of pants. It totally feels great!

The only problem I have is getting my Water in, I am not a water drinker and so I dont get all the water I need I put flavoring in it and that helps.

I have 28pounds till goal!

If there is anyone debating on getting the surgery, let me tell you the only regret is that I didnt get it done

sooner.

Thanks for reading, God Bless,

Lisa

I am so glad to have read your post... I am anxiously awaiting my surgery date in July.. i also think i should have made this decision sooner. I believe I was trying to do it on my own.. but I just kept hitting a road block.. Also, with having a toddler i was afraid.... and maybe i am just ready now.. not sure.. but I AM GOING TO DO IT... and I can hardly wait.. to be healthy and into a size 8-10... i can almost taste it.. lol

Your progress is so helpful to those either awaiting surgery, or on the fence..

Thanks for posting..

      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.
