Newbie Saying Hello...



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Frank and I am now 4 weeks post-op. My surgeon was Dr. Singh and I had my surgery done at St. Agnes in Baltimore. I was at 330 pounds before the 2 week pre-surgery diet, during which I lost 15 pounds, and I've dropped another 25 since the surgery. :)

Congrats, Frank. It looks like you're on the right track. I bet it feels great to say goodbye to the 300s, doesn't it?

Welcome, and keep it up!

Thanks everyone.

Cheri, you are correct ...it felt great to go sub-300. I haven't seen a leading number less than "3" in a long 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.
