First time on the scales



Recommended Posts

I started the preop diet at 303 (cant call it a liquid diet because i didnt stick to the liquid diet - did more of a restricted calorie diet). I did it for a week and lost 6lbs before surgery. I went into surgery one week ago at 297 and weighed for the first time yesterday EVENING at 285. Thats 18lbs in about two weeks - 12 of it in 6 days. I was quite shocked! But stoked none the less!

You are doing great and have the right attitude about this.

Oh men. You boys lose so much more quickly and it causes women everywhere to pull out their hair!

Congrats on your loss! It's a big achievement in a short time. Enjoy this window where it all falls off; hopefully it will continue for you. Men tend to lose faster than women and they respond especially well to the low carb diet that you're almost assuredly on right now.

Enjoy the new sleeve, and stay positive!

      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.
