Doctor Appointment

Today I had a check up with my surgeon. According to them, I'm @ 65% EWL. I'm not a year out yet. However, There was a 3 pound difference from what my scale shows. No real big deal. My labs were great! My B-12 was high, 1500. So He said to take everyother day. No issues with food. Other than not being able to tolerate cake. LOL. No problem. I will gladly take that as a good thing. :) All in all everything turned out good.:) The nurse did tell me that I SHOULD lose ALL of my EXCESS WEIGHT. I was like, YAY!!!! She did say as long as I keep on track and not deviate from what I am doing now I should lose all of my weight with no problem. Then I was told where she sees re gain is where their patients fall back into bad eating habits. Well I really don't foresee that for me. As my food demon was sweets. Which I can't do at all. I had an extremly small piece of cake and BAM!!! I felt so sick, that is a good thing for me as I now know that my body truely wasn't built for sweets. :) LOL.......Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!!!!

What a wonderful success! Congratulations! Great way to ROCK YOUR SLEEVE.

From your sleeve to mine - let it send the message through the ether that my sleeve won't like cake either. I haven't tried it yet - I am waiting until I hit goal.

Best of luck on your continued LIFE AS A SKINNY PERSON :P

      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.
