I Know My Sleeve Is Working When...



Recommended Posts

Let's have some fun:

1. I can walk 45 minutes non stop on a treadmill at a 5.0 incline!

2. When I walk outside I'm not afraid to look at my silhouette!

1. I no longer feel the need (nor can I ) to devour everything in sight!

2. My bathroom no longer looks like a laundromat with wet clothes hanging everywhere to dry so that I do not shrink them in the dryer. Now everything goes in the dryer!

1. Mid sentence, my husband stops and gives me a stunned look and says I look 10 years younger.

2. My shoulders are shaping up to look like shoulders and I can almost see my collar bones.

3. I put on a dress I think should fit now and it's too big!!

4. I put a third of what I used to eat on my plate and it's way too much.

When I can stop at a tiny amount. I'm almost 6 months post op and I am still amazed by the small amount I can eat. I used to eat an entire restaurant meal with no problem plus a good bit of the appetizer. Now, I will order one knowing I will take a ton of leftovers home. I can't even eat 1/3 of my food before feeling full or satisfied. Seriously, I can still only eat about 2.5 ounces of Protein and not much more regular food either. I can eat a bit more cottage cheese than I used to be able to but still only about 1/2 to 3/4 cup. I am pleased with my capacity.

      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.
