Nine Month Update!



Recommended Posts

Good afternoon everyone! Just wanted to give an update. I got sleeved on 12/15/2011, I was a lapband to sleeve revision. I am loosing slowly but surely and I am currently at 152 lbs. I started with pre Lapband at almost 250 lbs and pre Sleeve at 193 lbs. I work out 3-5 times a week and I also drink my Protein Shakes as a Meal Replacement at least once a day and try to limit my carbs and sugars. It has taken a lot of work, but I am very proud of my accomplisments and very happy with myself at this point. A little nip and tuck wouldn't hurt but will look into that in the future!!

You look awesome! Don't you hate it when someone thinks it is easy just because you had surgery? It is hard work, eating right and working out. Right now I am on a 2 week stall and I am just trying to stay encouraged..thanks for your help! Keep up the great work!

Yes, I have to work just as hard as they do. I have to work out and eat right just like them. It is not a quick fix for sure. I have stalled for months, but I just have to work harder and get back on track. We can do this!

Just keep going, I would stall for 2-3 months then I really had to get moving to loose. The less you have to loose the harder it gets. I basically have to stay under 1000 calories a day, exercise at least 1 hr, 3-5 times a week, burn at least 300-500 calories in each workout. Then eat mostly Protein and veggies, very minimal carbs and sugars. I keep track in myfitnesspal.com ... Good luck!

      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.
