6 MONTHS POSTOP WITH PIC! (X POSTED)



Recommended Posts

Today marks 6 months postop. It has not been easy mentally or physically but I'm doing it slow but sure!

When I met my surgeon 8/29/12: 332

When liquid diet started 11/25/12: 315

Day of surgery: 300

Today: 241.9

Im officially down 90lbs total!

Thank you all for your support over these last 8-9 months. I wouldn't have been able to do this without this group or my other online groups. You guys understand what we go through as supportive as my family and friends are and want to be. They still don't get it. Thank you again!

6pm dinner - toinght will be turkey w/bacon meatloaf and some veggies

i havent done the pouch test but i would say with dense Protein and some veggies my sleeve holds about 6oz. if i eat slider foods i can definetly eat more than that.

That sounds pretty good, nice normal lunch & dinner. Not that Protein shakes are abnormal or anything. I love Cod, I could eat Cod & Broccoli every day.

Thanks for sharing. You are doing awesome.

      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.
