13 weeks out with Pics.



Recommended Posts

Hey all.

Here's my summary as to how I am feeling at the moment.

I was sleeved 11/26. its been 13 weeks. Ive been stalled for literally a month. I feel like ripping my hair out as I am currently @ 250 pounds. My surgeon told me my weight loss goal would be to hit 200. So I have 50 pounds to go. I wanted to hit 175.

Others who were sleeved around the same date as me have posted that they've lost upwards of 60+ pounds already. i know everyone loses differently and all that jazz, but it still bothers me to be stalled.

I took pictures back in June while I was still in the process of becoming sleeved. I had forgotten about them, and I am SO GLAD that I took them.

In June in these pics, I was at 307. on my surgery day, I weighed 302.5 so I know these pictures, though 5 months before, are still pretty accurate as far as how I looked.

Right this very second, I weigh 247. Thank god that the scale looks like its moving :D

In 13 weeks, I have lost 55 pounds. I am not one of those amazing losers,I eat on average between 600-800 calories a day. I hit at least 50 grams of Protein a day which is low, and my Water intake is not that great either. I have lost an average of 4 pounds a week. Which is fine with me, hopefully it gives my skin enough time to make a come back.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

take pics pre-op. full body. all sides, naked or with a tight top on.

I have been depressed about my weight until I saw these pics. and looking through, I don't even recognize that girl anymore. and sadly enough, I never thought I was that big...

Stay positive, and Enjoy!

      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.
