Operation Skinny continues :)



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

Wow.. it has been a while since I have posted, or even visited.. but wanted to give an update :)

As of this morning I am 54lbs down from my day of surgery weight on June 9 .. 5 more days and it will be 3 mos for me! It has been a whirlwind of emotions for me since my surgery .. and I was really down on myself, and some ppl on this site really werent the most understanding. I no longer care about what those types of ppl have to say.. it doesnt phase me. You all have bitterness inside and I guess you have to let it out in some kind of way so whatever lets you sleep at night. None the less..... I am now happy to report that I have never been more happy and motivated!

I can eat what I want.. within reason of course.. and even if i want a cupcake, I can only have 2 bites! I LOVE IT :) Im in the gym 6 days a week and burning 700 calories each session.. and it is paying off wonderfully. I did go through about 4 wks of stall... which left me really discouraged, however.. in the week after that I lost 10lbs and have been losing since :)

Hope everyone is doing well and happy losing :)

      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.
