I Just Realized I Lost 14 Pounds



Recommended Posts

I was getting concerned that the loss was slowing down, but I just realized that in the past seven weeks I've lost 14 pounds, or two pounds a week since November 1. I'm down to 208.

I had a sort of hope that I would get under 200 by Christmas and I probably won't, but I'm not that far off. And I'm starting to get the feeling that I might actually reach goal at some point if this keeps up.

I've also noticed that my restriction is holding up just fine. I can eat junk or eat around the sleeve with the best of them, but the minitummy really can't handle more than half a cup of food still. Eightish months and going strong; a total of 81 pounds down; headed South.Pretty cool yall. :)

      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.
