Getting There...



Recommended Posts

Despite the major stalls, nasty Vitamins, the inability to enjoy my favorite food (greasy cheeseburgers), I have managed to lose some weight. My surgery was 5 months ago, and to date, I have lost 65lbs, and gone from a size 24 to a size 16. I still have 86lbs to go...hope to be back with goal pics soon!

The first picture in black and pink, was just before surgery...273lbs, and GROSSLY FAT!

The picture with he black shirt was 3 months later

I am currently wearing a 16, but no recent photo. I'll be back!

dar1983, YOU GO GIRL! You give us newbies a reason to take each day at a time!

@proudgrammy you always know the best things to say to everyone here! You always manage to lift my spirits and make me laugh, but since I'm only 4 days out from surgery, this seems to be the only thing my sleevie doesn't like!

      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.
