DOWN 30 LBS.IN 30 days- DOC. HAPPY



Recommended Posts

I went in today for my 30 day follow up & I'm down 30 lbs. My doc was very pleased with me since he's gone through all the struggles with with the lap-band for the last five years. So far I'm much happier with the sleeve.

good update...keep up the good work! I was only down post-op 1 month about 22 pounds...had stalled around 3 weeks...since then losing has been slow, but at 6 weeks post-op I am now about 30 pounds down...I don't have a follow-up visit with my surgeon until another 2 weeks, which will be 2 months out...I hope I can be at least 5 more pounds down by then, so my total loss at my upcoming visit will be 35 pounds...if I could somehow make it to 40 lbs down by then, I would be super happy :)

I lost 11 pounds on my pre op diet, and only 5 more since then -- and my surgery was June 3rd. REALLY frustrated and worried that I'm going to fail.

      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.
