4 Month Update! 97 Lbs Down!



Recommended Posts

HOLY COW! I have lost 97 pounds in 4 months and I still just can't believe it! My life is forever changed and I will NEVER go back to the way things were! August 18, 2011 was the biggest day of my life and I count my blessings every time I think about what could have happened in my life if I hadn't had my Sleeve on that day.

My big goal was to reach Onederland by the first of the year, and of course you can imagine how angry I was for the last 3 weeks with the scale not moving.......... But this morning I got on the scale and WOWZERS!!!!! I AM 3 POUNDS AWAY FROM ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

Whew, ok, I got that out... hehe. So anyways, here are some pictures. The first ones were taken at a wedding I was in June 2011, the last few were taken just this week. I still don't believe I have lost the weight until I see pictures... What a crazy feeling to see a picture of yourself and question whether it is actually you are not!

THANK YOU SLEEVE AND DR. JEFF GAWEL!!!!

WOW!!!!! You look great! Congratulations!!!!!!!

Your super duper fast weight loss should come with a warning that says:

"Results not typical"

LOL ( I am fearing quite a few threads about losing "slowly" and 3 day stalls) faint.gif

Again Congratulations! You look WONDERFUL!!!!!

      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.
