Need Help From 200 Ish Start Weight, Experienced Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months postop as of last Friday. My starting weight was 196, currently at 160, that is total loss from before preop diet. I basically lost 15 pounds the first month, 10 the second and 5 the third. Is that normal?

Today on MFP I have had 611 calories, 57 carbs, 22 sugar and 59 Protein.

Is that about what I need to be getting daily? What changes should I be making? I do take my Vitamins and I have been trying to get my protein without shakes but today I did have one. Should I be trying to stop the shakes and bars?

I had surgery in MX and do not have a NUT. I am starting to lose my hair but not to bad yet. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm not a NUT, but looking at your numbers, my suggestion would be to lower your carb intake, and up your Protein by 30 grams or so. I get a monthly B12 shot and take Biotin, it seems to help with the Hair loss, and gives me energy. I wouldn't give up drinking the Protein Shakes, maybe, use them for between meals. The lower BMI'S seem to lose a slower. Your doing well!

Lower the carbs a little bit and up your Protein. Please remember the less you weight the less you will lose per month and you will need to definitely up whatever routine you are doing.

You are doing great though. Congrats!

      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.
