Recommended Posts

Just checking in to see how everyone is feeling...hope you are all having a speedy recovery!! For me each day has been better and today I actually got dressed and went for a ride with my husband for awhile...it was nice to get off the couch :) Nothing really taste good but I think that maybe a good thing.

Hi, I was sleeved the same day as u and I have lost 60 lbs. two weeks ago I went to a dinner celebration and found out I can eat more food than I have been, about 1 cup, but worst of all I found out I don't have the dumping syndrome, I had a half a piece of cake.

I am back to eating my 1/2 cup mostly, maybe 3/4 cup sometimes. Unfortunately I have started eating skinny cow icecreams and not just one in a day. I am losing my discipline, I think cause I feel and look so much better I am secretly satisfied but I still way 220, have you had any experiences like this?

Hi and yes I have had that somewhat...the more my diet increased like new foods being added the easier it is too get off track. I really have to stick to a schedule and also plan my meals for the whole day the night before so that I am not tempted. 60 # is great so don't lose sight of the big rewards. Right now I am losing very slowly and it is very discouraging but I just joined a bootcamp at the gym for the next 4 weeks so hopefully that help to get the weight coming off again :)

      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.
