Three months and 51 pounds down



Recommended Posts

This is my three month update I was sleeved 12/26. I've only had one stall and I typically lose 4 - 5 pounds a week and I'm ok with that. I work out 5 times a week and try to work in a long walk at lunch each day.

I'm down 3 sizes in tops and slacks. People are starting to notice and that feels so good. I have lots of NSV's. I can bend over and tie my shoes now. I shop in "misses" and the styles are really pretty. I can go up TWO flights of stairs and not be winded. I'm not embarrassed to travel anymore because I fit in the airplane seats and don't need a seat belt extender.

I average around 800 calories a day. I can eat most anything but I stay away from breads, rice, Pasta and sweets I eat lots of chicken, fish and veggies. My "go to" meal is 1 scrambled egg with 2 ounces of sliced ham I have learned the hard way when I'm full and that means STOP eating!

I have had an easy journey. I read the forums every day and have gotten many helpful hints I learn from the vets like OTR, Cheri and fiddle man My heart breaks for those who are struggling and I cried when I heard the recent news of a death. I wouldn't change anything and love what my sleeve has allowed me to do. So thanks to everyone who takes the time to post. It really helps people like me. Good luck everyone

      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.
