All of my December sleevers...



Recommended Posts

I just jumped down off of a stall (s word!) and lost 3 pounds in one day - I am starting to believe that the body just does what it wants to, when it wants to, and you just have to look at the long run!

You're right. One day I'm 2 pounds higher, the next back down 2 pounds, then the next 1 pound lighter, then 2 pounds higher...if you graphed it it would be zig zaggy but at a definite downward motion.... :)

Surgery was 12/21 and down 28 pounds. Some days it doesn't move, some it drops considerably. Never hungry, but never ever know what to do at 930 pm when my brain wants to eat. Trying not to compare weight losses, but 28 pounds in under 3 weeks - is that normal?

I'd be thrilled with 28 pounds in 3 weeks! I was on the 21st too and I'm only down 18. What does your daily menu look it? How many calories? I'm worried I'm eating too much ( 600-800 calories daily).

Congratulations!

I called my doc asking about insomnia. I just cant seem to sleep at all. I am extremely tired but can't sleep. In addition I mentioned that my legs and arms are aching. He said I need to push the fluids. How do y'all manage to drink your 64oz of Water?

Most days I don't make it to 64oz. Usually really close though

I have a 20 oz cup with a straw... and I usually end up drinking about 3 1/2 of those during the day...

Yes, everytime I drink I get this nausea/hunger feeling for a minute or two then it passes until the next sip. The only thing that doesn't do that is Welch's cran-grape juice but it's packed with sugar so can't do much of that. I have been taking prilosec 40mg daily, saw doctor today and he switched me to 20mg twice a day, hoping that helps.

      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.
