Can't Wait For My Surgerversarry!



Recommended Posts

March 24th will be 1 year. Weight loss has slowed as I still drink a lot, but so far I've lost 152lbs.

I have gone from 379 to 227. I feel great. I get hit on in the grocery store. This has been an amazing ride. I'm so lucky to have had this resource to learn and help me thru my journey.

For those of you still thinking about this, it is a non issue. Just do it! This is the best thing thats ever happened to me!

I would like to add, before surgery I was pre-diabetic. now I'm not. Pre-surgery I was on blood pressure meds, now I'm not. And last week I was told by my sleep doctor to throw away my CPAP machine, because now I don't have sleep apnea!

So excited!!!!

I feel sort of lost in this sleeve world, I started out trying to get the DS but because of my thyroid cancer I was told I could only get sleeved for right now. I started out at a pre op weight of 288 and I now weigh 251 , my surgery was Dec. 14th, I'm feeling not as successful because it will be 2 months and I haven't lost a lb since January 14th, has anyone else had this slow down is this normal? I don't eat sugar, fat, i throw up a lot due to stuff not staying down and I drink all day Water, milk and crystal light....I excercise for 1 hour a day and the weight is still not coming off..starting to feel like it might have been a mistake.

      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.
