Being Real 9 Weeks



Recommended Posts

Just a quick note. Lost 48 lbs and loving it. I've gone shopping and love buying things that aren't followed by W's.

I've had some burping issues so not only taking Pecid ac but Tums, has helped a lot. So glad I had the surgery it is making my life so much better. Will start working out tomorrow at the gym. Yes I've have been procrastinating with this but it's time to get serious. I would love to be at goal by Christmas or at least close. 55 more lbs to go. Could be possible if I really work out like I should. Wishing to all success!

Congrats to you, we are really close in our goals. I am down 59, 44 since surgery with a goal of 46 lbs to go! We can do it by Christmas...no problem. I need to hit the gym harder as well, I have been slacking the last couple weeks. I have been so busy with my Dad being sick and working in my yard ( it is 3/4 of an acre!) so I am getting some exercise but not enough. Lets kick this into gear... we can do this!!!

You guys will be really close to goal by Xmas! No worries. Just follow the sleeve rules and keep all carbs really low. Eat a lot of Proteins and Omega 3 rich foods. Drink a lot of Water too. ;)

I'm also at 9 weeks and have lost 52 lbs with 48 to go. I also haven't started working out but want to now. Feel great and eating almost everything. Are you guys eating as well almost anything you want? Obviously healthy foods and not junk.

      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.
