Updated Photos 8 Months Post-Op



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on June 5th, 2012. I have lost over 125 lbs. so far and feel the best I have in yrs. Although the first few weeks after surgery were an adjustment, I wouldn't change my decision for anything. I have gone farther with my weight loss than I dreamed that I could. I can now fit into booths, wear clothing that is from a regular store, sleep without a c-pap machine, walk without getting winded, workout at the gym without feeling self-conscious, my skin cleared up (prob from not eating junk anymore), and I have more confidence than I have had in years which is the best feeling of all.

Isn't this amazing? We are really going to go all ghe way to goal once and for all. Personally, before sleeve surgery, I had no vision of me ever reaching normal weight, and believed I would die fat, many years prematurely. YeeHaw! I love reading about everyones success!

      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.
