3 Weeks Post Op Nsv! - A Couple Pics



Recommended Posts

My BFF and I, along with her beau, took our kids to Animal Kingdom today. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! The boys had a great time, and just for giggles I wore my pedometer. 12 freaking miles! Holy crap! And the passes we bought were 3 day passes so we get to do this two more times, without the kids though - having both the boys and them being so young was just too much to handle.

So, here's a couple of pics. The self portrait is literally the night before getting sleeved. Oh, and the pants I'm wearing today are 18's, down from 24! Woohoo!

Wow! You've gone down all those sizes in 3 weeks? I'm almost 3 wks out, and I'm only down 14 pounds, and there's NO WAY I could do all that running around at this point. You're doing great! Me... maybe not so great.

Thank you! Apparently I'm loosing inches like crazy in my mid section but nowhere else. Like PP said, everyone's experience is different, but the one thing we all have in common is we totally deserve this! Keep us posted when you get your date, we're all excited for you to join us on the losers bench! ;-)

Thank you! TBH I didn't think I'd be able to handle all that either so I made my friend and her BF take their car just in case I needed to leave early, but I felt great the whole time! Ya never know until you try ;-) You'll get here too, ya just gotta give it time. Yesterday was the most active I've been since getting sleeved and honestly if I hadn't just gone out and done it without over analyzing my physical state, I probably would have convinced myself I wasn't ready and spent the day piddling around the house.

I think today I'm gonna strap the munchkin in his stroller and walk to the park which is about 4 miles away... We'll see how ambitious I'm feeling once he gets up from his nap ;-)

      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.
