Lost 12 Kilos (26 Lbs) Since June 21



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Went to NUT today. Felt like a pop quiz.What are you eating, are you taking Vitamins, are you getting Protein, hows the Water intake, are you tracking?

Not sure I left with any knew knowledge, except that pre op testing showed I was already very low in VIT D (32).

She weighed me and said, down 12. And walked to her room.. where is my BOOYAH!! thats one of my toddlers!! PMSL! That is 26 pounds in 3 weeks.. without trying specifically to lose, just following the plan and getting protein.

I am feeling cranky but I think Auntie Flow may be about to visit and this darn seroma over the hernia repair is the size of a grapefruit and it HURTS! Good news is the practice manager has put me in with the surgeon tomorrow for a wound review and hopefully will get some relief from the seroma.

I forgot, she did say I am not consuming enough.. OMG.. I am swallowing something all day. Water or Protein or mushy... averaging between 450-700 calories a day. 60 protein minimum.

She usually says no more shakes after todays appt but has decided since I am not eating enough I can keep them! I need them to make my prtein! I chew 3 bites of refried Beans and I am full!

      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.
