4 months out and so happy, no regrets! (Pic included)



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say that I am 4 months out today and just so excited. My body is changing and sometimes it makes me laugh to know that I am supposed to feel the bones in my body lol. When I lay down or when I shower I am like " oh wow I have a collar bone, wow this is a hip bone.. oh wait this is an elbow and knee bones really?! haha you all know what I am talking about.

I have never regreted the surgery although in the begining it was a bit tough but now its not bad at all. Eating and drinking feel like a chore (never thought I would say that) but I am doing great. I am learning my body and how to work along with my sleeve. The only thing I have left to do is join a gym.. I have been saying for a while I even have passes for a month of kickboxing so I need to get my behind in gear with that.

Good luck to everyone that is just starting on this journey and congrats to all that have already started on this journey!!

My highest wieght was 303lbs in July

Surgery weight was 282lbs Nov 8, 2012

4 months out I am 224 lbs Mar 8, 2013

I am attaching a photo of the biggest me and then a pic from about 2 weeks ago. :)

Awesome! You look great! I know what you mean about feeling bones! Last night in bed I grabbed the back of my thigh, and yelled oh gross! My husband asked what was wrong, and I said I feel something weird. It was my hammies. He cracked up.

      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.
