Recommended Posts

I am so glad I found this thread!! I was sleeved oct 22 and have lost 7 pounds so far, only 7??? And everyone else I see with the same day is talking about how happy they are at 20 + pounds down! I decided to get a friend to hide my scale from me do I will stop obsessing and getting depressed about it! I thought I wa the only one but I'm glad to see other people in similar situations

Hi Whitney. I think most people are posting weight loss that INCLUDES the preop time as well. You're only 2 weeks out! Add the 7 to whatever you lost prior to the surgery. 7 is amazing in 2 weeks!

Don't be depressed.... take it easy on yourself - your body is still heaving from the surgery... weight yourself once a week and be easy on yourself.. make sure you limit the juices (full of sugar)

Tell them it's rude to ask. Tell them the only question allowed is: "How are you feeling?"

      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.
