1 Month Anniversary How Do You Feel? How Much Have You Lost?



Recommended Posts

I feel amazing. I have lost 25 lbs since my surgery and I can feel the difference already. I have more energy and my closes are falling off.

I do mourn the loss of eating my favorite foods and have a hard time smelling my favorite foods. I made spaghetti last night and I had to leave the room when my family was eating. I am burned out on soft food but I know I have to take it slow and easy. I have not cheated and I make sure I get my Protein and Water in each day as much as I can. I use to hate Beans of any type no love pinto beans with cheese. I make a fo-pasta bake lol ricotta cheese, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese bake. I makes me feel like I am eating Pasta. Some days I can eat more then others. I love my baby bell cheese and laughing cow cheese. Club 100% wheat crackers are great 2-3 of them with humus sooo good.

Tell me what you have been eating and how you feel. Tell me how much you have lost. :)

Good for you! I lost 19 lbs my first month. It's taken me another 2 weeks just to lose 1 more lb. I love hitting that 20 lb. mark! I'm able to button blouses that I used to wear open w a tank top underneath; plus, jeans that I hadn't been able to wear for the last year or two.

This would be hard cooking for family. I live alone, so I can just concentrate on myself. I finally got a "Bullet" blender. So now I can make shakes w fruit in them and change things up a bit.

I eat pretty much the same Breakfast everyday.....one egg scrambled w about 2 T of cottage cheese mixed in. lunch can be soup; greek yogurt; EAS drink; leftovers .....something like that. Dinner: an egg again; or shrimp cocktail. I got a turkey dinner from Mimi's the other night. I've been eating that for the last 2 days....a little turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. That has been a real treat. I also like chicken salad or tuna as a meal, too. So, those are my food choices. I'd love to hear what other people are eating.

Keep up the good work!

I lost 20 lbs my first month but then slowed WAY down. I can't do Protein Shakes, so I ate a lot of tuna, soft tofu, ground turkey, and greek yogurt. Also, saltines and creamcheese, when I desperately needed something that went crunch.

You're doing great!

I love the club crackers 100 whole wheat. I have not tried crab cakes sounds like a good idea. What kind of lunch meat do you eat? chicken salad I have eaten once. I made homemade egg foo young with vegs that was great. I do not have caffeine or sugar at this point as well.

I am one month post op today as well. I am about 23-25 lbs down, I have been fluctuating but started my more vigorous walking this week and it seems to be helping me get out of this plateau. I am seeing the inches come off though which is exciting, I fit into a lot of clothes that were ridiculously tight on me.

I am still doing soft foods, fork tender stuff which seems to be going well. Crackers and LF cream cheese go down really easy when I am famished. I do seem to be getting hungry like every 3-4 hours some days but I snack on LF yogurts, cottage cheese and more nourishing foods like that if it's in between meal time.

      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.
