How has everyone been doing?



Recommended Posts

I hope everyone is doing well! What have you guys been able to eat and not eat? How has getting this surgery changed your life? Do people notice that you have lost weight?

I've been doing well! I haven't really had any trouble with foods! This surgery has changed my life. I don't know where i would be right now if i had not decided to have it. I am 95 pounds down. I wouldn't even dream of this a year ago. People have noticed that i have lost weight. i have gotten the "Katie have you lost weight" a lot from people i don't even talk to. It can be really satisfying and also really annoying at the same time.

What about you?

Hey Guys! Im 18 and i just completed my freshman year of college! I just got sleeved on Wednesday (5/15) and I am so excited about this process. I cannot wait to be done this clear liquid diet, and can't wait to get back to my active life. Sitting around on the couch trying to drink my yucky Isopure is so not what I wanna be doing!

Im so glad that I stumbled upon this supportive and understanding online community!

Congratulations! I know what that clear liquid diet is like because i had to do it 5months ago.Im 17 and will be a freshman in college in august. Just stick with it and remember why you wanted to do this and it outweighs your not liking something you are sipping on. Best of Luck! Keep us updated!

      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.
