Feeling like a brand new me!



Recommended Posts

Im officially 3 months out as of the 20th and yesterday my scale weighed me at 288.8. I was 349 day of surgery so I couldnt be happier with my sleeve and my new way of life. We are about to leave and go on vacay for 2 weeks (home to visit family and drop the kiddos off with my mom, cruise to the Bahamas, couple days in Orlando, and then back to GA for the 4th) and Im feeling so confident and more sure of myself with every pound lost. Im working out the most I have my whole life! I actually packed workout clothes for my vacay! Im super excited for all my summer trips (Miami next month as well as high school reunion) and Im just feeling so good about life. In the back of my mind I still feel like its not gonna last but thats just years of self defeatist attitude I still need to shake. This sleeve was my saving grace! Loving my sleeve!!!

      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.
