CONGRATULATIONS on your incredible journey. I'm 4 months post op and have lost around 110lbs. Feels great to walk and move around pain free. Great to be able to situp on my bed.

Enjoy and continue moving forward

Drank Proteins shakes and no sugar added Pops when I wanted a treat. post-244766-14439263040971_thumb.jpg post-244766-14439264208586_thumb.jpgAlso made a lot of turkey chili and all vegetables chili with a lot Beans for Protein . Of course a lot of walking. I just started the gym last week to tone up now.

Wow. I guess I'm worried mainly about gaining later down the road (years). I wonder if you can have too much protein? What surgery did you have?

I had a gastric sleeve.

That's always a worry for everyone. Eat in moderation and watch what you eat. This is the time to make things right so we don't return to where we were with our weight

I'm having the bypass. Also worried I'll be hungry since they don't remove that hunger hormone with the bypass that they remove with the sleeve. My acid reflux is too bad to have the sleeve.

Atontor,

Did you have any weight loss stalls? I'm 3 weeks post op and in my first 2 weeks I lost 18 lbs but this last week I stalled and haven't lost anything. I'm worried. My doc said I should work out until 6 weeks and I am following all the guidelines. Any advice?

Hi

I didn't stall in the beginning. I stalled for about a week once I was able to eat solid food but then continued to lose. Right now I'm stalled, those last 10 lbs I want to lose are still there but I'm not complaining.

      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.
