6 Weeks 2 Days Postop.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 10/1. I lost 26 pounds preop and have lost 26 post op. The bad part is I lost the 26 in the first 3 weeks and nothing since. I hope I'm not done losing the weight. I struggle to get in even 800cal a day and my doctor says I should be at 1000 a day by now I get in my 70-80 g of Protein and all my Fluid and Calcium too its just the calories I can't seem to up yet. The highest I have gotten was 990 and that was a day where all I did was make myself eat ALL day long. How can I jump my weightloss back up?

I wouldn't be stressing on this right now....You are really early out and the weight will come off. Your body is adjusting in inches right now and is getting ready to let go of more weight. It's a process. Just be sure to get in your Protein via shakes and drink a lot of water........You have lost 52 lbs both pre and post op.....That is nothing to sneeze about.... Keep it up....

Hey, your venting and that is down right OK.

Im early off in this. I sure I will feel the same when I hit the big stall and I know I will.

Lots of talk on here about the dreaded stall.

Good luck and keep looking forward.

      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.
