7 weeks post op & 100 lbs down



Recommended Posts

As of tomorrow, i am 7 weeks post op and 100 pounds down including pre op diet loss (24lbs). i couldnt be happier. i am averaging 3 lbs a day and no sign of slowing down. I was told of a possible stall at 4 weeks but havent experienced that yet. i am working out a lot and doing lots of hiking and focusing on my Protein as much as possible. im so excited. i went from a size 24 pants to and 18 pant, and an 3x top to an XL!!! I can even fit the shirts at The Gap! Im ecstatic!! I am taking a trip to pUERTO RICO in april and by then i am estimating that i should be at goal! Very exciting! im so happy

Wowwww!!! That is so awesome! Boy I better get my rear end in gear with the Protein Drinks. I'm only 15 day post op and down 20 since starting the journey. What kind of workout are you doing and when did you start it after surgery?

i work out 5 times a week including twice a day on the weekends, also i hike often and i do the "Culver city stairs" which is like a mountain with stairs going up forever, i mean there are so many darn stairs and i do that every weekend. . i am eating my Protein Shakes for Breakfast or i may have quinoa with dried cranberries and egg then for snack, i have string cheese or fruit or Protein Bars and another shake for dinner. i dont count calories because i am very active and i pay attention to my body. i eat small Snacks in between meals and i drink nothing but Water or crystalite. As soon as i feel satisfied, i stop eating. And i carry healthy snacks where ever i go. I love salad and my fridge is packed with left overs because i stop eating not when i am full but when i am satisfied. i LOVE my sleeve!

Also, If you guys are experiencing low energy then you must focus on your Protein. The only time i experience low energy is when i dont drink my protein. Its your bodies source of energy and if you are doing an intense work out then have a protein shale before you work out and a piece of a banana just so your body doesnt go on empty in the middle of your work out. Knowledge is power!

Hi, your doing so awesome!! The working out everyday is paying off big time. Congratulations!!! You will be there for your vacation I'm sure. One question? I'm 9 weeks and I haven't even tried salad yet. I have had really good luck, I haven't had any issues with food I can eat anything. You can tolerate salad at 7 weeks? That's great!

Also...What Protein bars have you found that we can have. I'm needing some new food ideas.

@ Stephers, i am on solids now per my surgeon. Yes, i get full on 3-4 bites but its a salad and its nutritious. Protein bars that i buy are the natures valley 10G protein bars. i literally eat a quater of the bar at a time and its fine for me. Take small bites and take your time Stephers, and stop as soon as you feel anything in your tummy.

Wow, Have to say I am envious that is amazing not doing the exercise you are and eating more real food maybe the answer is to go back to Protein Shakes? !

      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?

      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.
