3mo checkup---lost 7 sizes and 2 pds to goal!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Oct 30, 2012 and have lost 7 pant sizes! I went from a size 14 to a 7, but it has been a hard road. I am now just beginning to feel better. I had a swallow test and a Endoscopy done yesterday and everything looks good. I had about a month of nauseousness and a couple of weeks of vomiting. My doctor was concerned about the weightless, but after testing we decided that most likely the vomiting was from a stomach virus. To get all my Protein or Water in, it is hit and miss. I eat about ½ cup of Cream of Wheat and I am full. The first 2 months were hell for me and I just kept reading here from others to hang in there and each day will get better. I still fight for energy but my Vit B is low, hopefully with some Vit B shots I will be getting my energy back. I had a hard time believing that the day would come when I feel half way better, but it did come. So for those just starting out, HANG IN THERE, it does get better, just some have a smoother road than others.

      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.
