9 Months Post Op And New To The Boards!



Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Brittany. I am a 25 year old mother of 2 beautiful girls, I work and am in graduate school. I had my surgery last year on 11/23/11 (the day before Thanksgining). It has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have been lurking on these boards since before I had surgery and have finally decided to stop being antisocial and join already! I glad to be a part of the group now!

I'm glad too! This has been an amazing experience so far and I'm glad I'll be able to share it with you kind folks ;) I am thrilled having 95 pounds gone forever and I look forward to meeting my ultimate goal of losing 1/2 my body weight in the near future. In the mean time, 100 pound loss is so close I can taste it!

My diet has been pretty standard. Trying to get in fluids (although I could be much better), eat Protein when possible (although I am not nearly as strict as some others as I love Pasta lol) try to remember to take all of my Vitamins every day, and stay away from junk foods (although once in a blue moon I might have a handful of flaming hot cheetos lol). I find that when I do follow those guidelines I do feel much better. I was a serial dieter before the sleeve and now I feel like I eat like a thin person does. I eat well most of the time but I'm not afraid to indulge occasionally.When I do indulge, it is delicious and not shameful. Now that I am a bit futher out and closer to my goal (so close yet so far lol) I have to be a little more strict to sustain regular weightloss but nothing too intense. I hope that answers your question! And I am sure you will find all the success you desire as well!

      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.
