Around 5 months out and 92 lbs down!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All!! I was sleeved Jan 24th 2011. It has been an interesting journey to say the least. My SW was 304 and I am now 212. Only 12 lbs til ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant belive it. I recently changed my goal weight to 140 from 160 but Im not sure if that is very realistic but I am striving for it!!! My weight loss has slowed down some but that is due to my "falling of the wagon" and when I say that I mean not working out or eating as healthy. But the AMAZING part of the sleeve is that although I messed up I am still losing weight!!!! Its not 3-5 lbs/week anymore..more like 1-3 lbs a week. But the beauty of it is that I can start fresh and when I work out I drop ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Im not gaining it back. If anyone is thinking about this DO IT!!!!!!!!!! Best decision I've ever made!!!!!!!!!! And I know it gets old but this is just a TOOL. But damn it is the best effing tool I've ever used and if you work the sleeve it will work for you!!!!!!!!! This week Im becoming more committed again and staying away from the crap. My problem is I forget to eat and Im a single mom and I work 2 jobs so I eat out. Well I have a wedding June 17th and I want to be UNDER 200!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope all is going well for eveyone!!!!!!!!!

      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.
