6 month update w/ Pics



Recommended Posts

6.5 Months out... what a difference! Wearing medium shirts and 30-34" pants depending on type and maker.

Started @ 322, 270 day of surgery and now 182.

Still losing in that step-wise fashion that a lot of people talk about. If I gain a lb or two, I usually know exactly why and can make a change to drop it back off in a day or two.

Fish seems to be my go-to dense Protein when I need to jump start a quick loss.

Ask me any questions you want, and I will do my best to answer.

WOW, you have done a tremendous job with your sleeve in a super-short amount of time! And look at your collar bones...they were in hiding before. What is your goal weight? You must be close to goal (not sure how tall you are but just guessing from the way you look now!)

      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.
