Recommended Posts

I ask how much you have to lose because you have to remember that a person who is 230 pounds is probably NOT going to lose as fast as a person who is 330 pounds.

I had a BMI of 53 was 297# before surgery. I lost some prior to surgery and now after 9 months I am only 235-238#. It's so very frustrating and I moved to Tn and now no longer have support I had in Boston. I just feel like such a failure! And lookn at all the people I knew that had the surgery just like me around same time...ugghhh I'm once again "the ugly ducklin" in the bunch. Everyone has lost massive weight. I now have gotten so depressed that I no linger care...I have started back on sodas last week and just decided that maybe I'm meant to just be FAT!!

don't give up! you have come too far to stop now. surround yourself with "positive"! watch some positive movies and read some positive books. pray and read your bible. put on some music that fires you up. (like the Rocky movie songs) Now go kick some but and show the world that you CAN do it!

      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.
