Almost 4 Months Out! :-)



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 months out on July 29th. I am down 84lbs and still losing steady. My starting weight was 330 and Im at 246. I feel great! My life has improved so much! My confidence level has gone up and I have so much more energy. If anyone is considering having this surgery my opinion is "GO FOR IT". I have had no complications and I have not stalled. (yet, Im sure it's coming) I had a hard time in the beginning up until a month or so out because I missed my food, but that has all changed now. I am changing mentally as well as physically. Something that I have realized that is kinda sad is that people treat me differently. When I am out in public(shopping or whatever), people talk to me more and are just way nicer. I even have men flirting with me...(which hasnt happened in years). Although this makes me feel good, its kinda sad that I am treated better because of my weight. I guess that's just how our society is! I have gone from a size 26/28 to 16/18. The only problem I have is that I am growing out of all my clothes. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on my journey and encourage us all to just keep going! God bless you all and good luck!!

Love to hear your story, thank you! You give me inspiration. I feel so down right now and its only my first week. I think its the lack of Protein so I got some Isopure which helped. Keep going, you rock!!!

      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.
