Two Months Out!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I just wanted to put up a quick post about my progress since the sleeve. Today marks 2 months since I went under the knife in Seattle and I can now say that it's quite possibly the best thing that I have ever done for myself. This morning, I jumped on the scale and I weighed 165.4! That means that since my sleeve, I've lost a grand total of 44.6 pounds and my BMI is 30.3.

A few things that have changed for me since the sleeve:

1. Shopping is fun again! I don't have to skulk off to the plus size section and flick through the mumus with an ashamed look on my face.

2. When I notice men looking at me, my mind doesn't flash "stoplookingatmyfatstoplookingatmyfatstoplookingatmyfat!"

3. I can run! It might be only a mile or two, but I CAN DO IT!

4. Last night, I just saw my best friend whom I haven't seen since before the surgery. He picked me up and swung me around laughing saying, "bitties! What happened to you! You look SO amazing!!" He didn't stop talking about it all night long.

I'm not ready to put before and after pics up yet, but I promise that I will eventually. To everyone who's trolling these boards trying to decide if you're ready to have the surgery or not, just take the plunge and do it. You won't regret it.

      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.
