10 Months Out - Before And After



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I have been away from the board for a while but want to get back involved and hopefully I can help others that will go through or are going through this exciting journey we call VSG!

I am just a week past 10 months out and feeling great. My weight loss has leveled out and i'm hovering around the same 3 - 4 lbs up and down daily. I work out hard 2 - 3 days a week and am happy to report that 2 weeks ago I did my first 10k in 1 hour and 50 seconds, a respectable time in my mind! Shooting for a half marathon at the end of the year!

I hope everyone is doing well, enjoying the journey and making great progress. I know the hard days can be really tough but it really does keep getting better once you learn what you can and cannot do, find your flow and Celebrate your victories. Here is a pic of me before surgery and at the 10 month mark (in a dressing room, lol)...enjoy!

      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.
