Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I Have lost a total of 47 lbs since the start of my pre-op diet in June. My pants that I was squeezing into 47 lbs heavier I can still wear, but, they are lose in my legs, butt, hips, upper body has lost, but, my waist is pretty much the same, my pants are still kinda tight in my waist! I hope I start losing there soon so I can go down sized!!!! I am a pear shape body, so I carry mosy of my weight in my belly, hips, butt ad legs. I never took measurements, maybe I should have. How are you doing!?

So far, I have lost a couple inches everywhere, such as in the arms, thighs, waist, hips, and breasts (sigh). I am a quintessential pear shape also. I can't wait to lose a little more in the hips so I can fit into my smaller jeans.

Well, you could always start taking measurements now. :)

I've lost 40 lbs and also still wearing my old pants. They are basically looser all over. I did take measurements and I'm losing equally all over for a total of 20 inches so far (7 wks). I bought a new bra yesterday and have gone from a 40 band to a 36. If I were you I'd start measuring now.

Losing top to bottom...Pear shaped too. So I'm gonna have a tiny head yippie. It's never too late to start taking your measurements... so you won't have the starting point (I don't either...had lost 30# b 4 I started) But it is still nice to see the progress.. especially during a stall.

      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.
