Surgery was 4/8 and today i am down....



Recommended Posts

63 LBS!!! I am so excited that I almost passed out at my Dr's today. I weighed 552 on the day of my surgery and today I weighed at 489LBS. My Dr was very happy and cleared me for stage 4. I asked if this was normal and he said someone my size would lose quicker, but I'm definitely ahead of schedule. I'll be honest, I had some thoughts of regret right after the surgery, but then I really focused and it is paying off. I still hate Protein Drinks, but I've found other ways o get my Protein like eggs or Peanut Butter on a spoon have really helped.

      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.
