6 Months Post Op....down 110 Pounds !



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I turn 42. In April of this year, I weighed my highest ever .... 338. I decided to have the surgery and thought it was my absolute last chance at a "normal" life. I'm down to 228 this morning. 110 pounds gone - forever. Even though I'm down this much and my self esteem is alot higher, I still feel like the fat person I started out as. I still don't want my husband to see my naked. I knew I'd have loose skin but its still filled with fat. I have no idea where I want to be. I know I want to get to at least 170 , maybe 150. I'm 5,8. Med/large build. I hardly eat anything now and worry about stopping the weightloss if I do reach some sort of goal for myself. My surgery was June 25th. Has anyone else gone through this? I have noticed that I went from a men's 2x-3x sweats to a mens large today when I bought some. I should be ecstatic about this but something says don't get too excited just yet.

The men's sweats have smaller legs. I should have gotten a Medium. The shirts are longer too.

Wearing them today. :) Oh and I get to change the ticker again this morning...another pound gone !

You should be so proud of what you have accomplished, I am! Now as far as having fat goes, it is great that you have more fat than loose skin, this is good as your body is adjusting well. Really check out the ladies section of casual pants, even Walmart has some great sport pants(danskin) and yes they have slimmer legs, all the rage these days! Take out some older clothes and try them on you will see how far you have come, woohoo great job keep going!!

      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.
