3 Month Sleeve Anniversary Today!



Recommended Posts

I cannot believe 3 months ago this time I was in my hospital room in major pain, but it was all worth it. To date I have lost 62 pounds! It sounds like allot but I have 100 pounds left to go, so I still have a long journey ahead to reach my goal. I work out about 4-5 times a week. Did my first 2 mile marathon 2 weeks ago. I still have not had any bread or pizza since surgery; I did have cake on my Birthday. I think the hardest part, has been with me being opposed with the scale, I weight everyday some days twice just to see. I get mad at the scale when it doesn’t move because I’m thinking, I only had 700 calories today, and it should move everyday lol.

The sleeve has become a lifestyle for me now. My best friend just had to go to a buffet so I went with him (total waste of money for me) and to watch him eat, made me feel a little sick, because I used to eat just like that. I was sick at the fact that I used eat plate after plate and could not see that it was a serious problem. I was looking in the mirror at myself eat 3 months ago. Well, I’m moving right along and will never go back to what I was!

I find myself getting repulsed by the way my husband eats. He eats a lot of food and he's diabetic with his blood sugar way out of control. He is always hungry... So I really dislike eating with him now and that makes me really sad. He is a wonderful, supportive hubby who would do anything for me. He is even trying to eat less which is difficult for him. He has the belief that he has to eat everything on his plate and he eats what's left over on mine. So I am taking a lot less food now. :( Anyways, congrats on losing and thanks for sharing. ;)

      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.
