Rockin' My Sleeve



Recommended Posts

So I am 29yrs old. 5ft 11in. My start weight before surgery in Jan 30th was 291. Today I got 3times on the scale I been using, and my weight was 257.4 I am so happy and very excited. So proud to have lost 34lbs in just 5days. It's not easy trust me. But my secret is, get up from that bed and walk. Walk walk n walk. N drink lots of Water. On the 3rd day I started to power walk cuz I felt so much better. Can't wait to hit the 40's! Good luck to all just wanted to share this with all.

Wow love hearing how well its going for you, I've been so sleepy after a couple of hours that I just give in and lay down. I get a few hours asleep then back up walking through the house even at 3 am in the morning if need be. I haven't found anything comfortable enough to wear around my stomach to go out for a walk in the fresh air but want to try that this week. Thanks for all the positive feed back :)

      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.
