So tomorrow is my 3 month sleeveversary!! WOO HOO. I wanted to give an update on my progress to everyone and my RED VELVET's!!

As of tomorrow, I can officially have a "regular" diet and eat anything I wish. Within reason of course. Just meaning, nothing is off limits like before. I am soooo looking forward to having a salad and have bought all my stuff for it!! YAY!

I have done really well. I have not had any nausea or vomiting. Have not overeaten or felt ill from eating and am happy about that. I actually undereat my sleeve for fear of this!! I exercise daily and eat according to my plan. As of today, I have lost 95lbs!! WOOP. 40lbs since surgery 3 months ago and 55lbs pre-op!!

I have gone from 280 to 185 and a 43.2 bmi to a 28.1!!! I have not taken my bp or diabetic medication since one week after surgery and my blood sugars are in the 80-90's daily!! I am soooo happy about that. :)

I went from a 22/24 clothing size and now wear a loose 12. I really can't say enough good things about my sleeve. I love it!

I would love to hear how my Red Velvet's and other's are doing!!!

Kelly,

Congratulations! I'm a few days behind the Red Velveters: I'll be at 3 months on the 17th.

Your numbers are amazing! Would you mind sharing what a typical day of food and exercise looks like for you?

Thanks,

Lynda

I am supposed to eat 1/2 c three times a day right now, but I can not do that. When I do, I only consume around 300-400 calories and that does not work for me!

So, I eat my three meals and a snack or two depending on my calorie count for the day. I use my fitness pal to track my calories, but really that is all I pay attention to. I don't count carbs at all.

B- 2-2.5 oz Protein (chicken, fish, trukey burger) or scrambled/boiled egg

S-Light cheese stick

L- 2-2.5 oz Protein (tuna, chicken, trukey, meatballs, lunchmeat)

S- 1 oz. Jerky or 1oz nuts or pure Protein shake or bar

D- 2-2.5 oz protein (salmon, steak, tri-tip, chicken) a couple green Beans.

I rarely can eat all my meat at meal times. I can eat more steak and fish than chicken. I have not eaten any "bad carbs" rice, bread, Pasta, etc. I have had a couple bites of baked yams and some cooked veggies, but that is about it. I do not eat sweets at all.

I exercise pretty much everyday. I walk mostly at a very fast pace about 3-4 miles. I try to keep my calories between 750-850 daily.

      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.
