Happy To See This Forum



Recommended Posts

His is my first post. I am scheduled for surgery on July 30, and am presently on the pre-op fasting diet. I have already felt some results! I can't wait for my visit to the nutritionist to see how much I've already lost.

I am happy to see this forum because in surfing the internet, I was only seeing results of 120-150 pounds. My initial goal is to lose 200 lbs., but more than that would be great too!

Hello,

I was the same when I joined. Sorry we work kgs. But I started at 155kg (340 pounds) I am hoping to lose about 70-80 kgs (176 pounds)

Good luck to you all.

I am currently 2 weeks post op and have lost 15 kgs since pre op diet. (33 pounds) in about 4 weeks.

I would really like to hear from other people that have to or need to lose that amount. Would really like to ask about excess skin.

      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.
