im beginning to think sleeve surgery is a scam



Recommended Posts

Keep in mind that calories in/calories out is not absolute mathematics. And it's not instantaneous. It's not like you drive your car 20 miles and burn 2 gallons of gas immediately. It doesn't work that way in the instant. But over time it will.

If im not consuming as much calories and moderately exercising' date=' i should have lost more than 26lbs since 12/17[/quote']

You did not gain 70 pounds overnight and you will not lose it like that either

If you haven't lost anymore weight by the time you are 6 months out and you follow the program then you can call it a scam. You have to at least give it the 6 month try.

I am sooooo confused. Lost 26 pounds in less than a month and not happy....exactly what were you expecting? Did your doctor promise you you'd wake up from surgery looking like Kate Moss?

Amen. People want a miracle while I'm here just wanting to feel healthy and will take it. Some fat people feel so entitled. That's the same rationale used to get you fat.

I think the majority of people get discouraged when they hit a stall. I know I was and I thought I was a failure. It gets better.

Try to stay positive and remain focused and on track. We will win this thing! :)

      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.
