Progress Pictures At 70 Lbs Down



Recommended Posts

I am not quite 5 months out (about a week and some days away) and I am down 70 lbs as of last Friday. I still have a hard time seeing it.. Can't wait to lose some of my lower belly so I can start really dropping sizes. I know this will be an issue because I've had two vertical c-sections and where before I never stored fat in my belly, after it seems like one of my greatest stores. I still have a goal of 100 lbs lost by my 6 month surgiversary. I know it's a lot before March 2nd, but I just started running again, so there's a chance right? Even if I don't make it to that goal, by that date, I will make it. That's all that matters.

I am not quite to the halfway point on my journey, but I'm close. So here are some pictures to document that. The first picture is me and my sleeve sister GardenDiva... Where is she?! The before are from morning of surgery. The progress are from this morning.

I just wish that I could see the changes that it seems everyone around me is getting hip to.

Well, I can definitely see the difference--hopefully comparing the pics will help you see it vs. looking in the mirror. Congratulations! :) :Banane57:

      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.
