best decision ever.... down 85lbs.



Recommended Posts

I posted this on another board the other day but thought I'd add it to the success stories.

I'm down a total of 85lbs, from 332 to 247, and half way to goal! That's including preop op weightloss. I've lost 53lbs since surgery 12/10/12.

Ideally i want to get to 165. That leaves about 82lbs to goal.

best decision ever is right! Congrats to you! I feel the same and you and I have very similar goals! My VSG was on 1/22. My heaviest on January 8th (the day I found out I was having surgery 13 days later) was 287 LBS. Day of surgery I was 271. Today I am 221. Total wl is exactly 1/2 way to go! I am so glad I decided to have the surgery, it has changed my life. Keep up the awesome momentum and good luck on the 2nd half of your journey!

      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.
