3 months post op down 55lbs pic closing in on onderland



Recommended Posts

Hi all I have read/lurked on these boards since Jan. I was sleeved in KC 3/9/11 by Dr. Hoehn. I have/had PCOS. My starting weight was 264. I lost 14lbs during my 2 week pre-op diet. So my starting weight day if surgery 250. Today I am 209. I am closing in on onederland.

I am down from 14 meds a day to 2. My cholesterol week of surgery was 232 LDL 155 Triglycerides 145

As of 4/28 my Cholesterol was 180 LDL 108 Trigyclerides 111 and HDL went up 5 points. :) All my labs looked good.

I am anxiously awaiting 195 for 3 days. Then I will count myself in onerland! :) (allotting for scale differences.)

Anyway I don't have really full body shots but you can tell in my face obviously. The middle pic is from today the other 2 were from the beginnng of feb.I went from a tight 22 to a comfortable to loose 18. :)

Thanks for all the support (even though I have never posted) You all are a wealth of information.

      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.

      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.
