Half of Me - @ 11 1/2 Months - Down 143 lbs.



Recommended Posts

Hopefully this works. I just posted an album of me with before photos and progress along the way.

I doubt I could ever fully describe how incredible this past year has been. My surgiversary will be on

March 7th. I started my pre-op diet 2 weeks before at 286.2 lbs; as of this morning I now weigh 142.8 lbs.

I really can't believe it myself. I am a Lapband revision and was told that I should expect to lose slower

because of that. My hope was that at 1 year I would have lost 120 lbs or 10 lbs a month.

VST has been a vital contributor to my success - both in reading the forums before surgery, after and

hoping to contribute along the way (though I admit I have not been on near as much as in those early days).

Many thanks to all of the wonderful members who have posted and shared your journeys, tips, recipes and challenges.

To those of you considering VSG I encourage you to read through the many forums here, as I did. In one sentence I

can tell you that this is the best thing I ever did for myself!

To those of you in the first month after VSG - hang in there, the first month was the hardest - it gets better and better.

      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.
