Im Back!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

Well I had my surgery on 12/13/2005 and I weighted 320 lbs. I got down to 260 lbs. Within the last 4 months I regained 35 lbs so now I am back up to 295 lbs. My position at my job change and now I sit behind a computer all day compare to walking all day before. Now I work from 8 am to 5 pm. So when I get home I am tired and don’t want to do anything. Before I worked from 2pm to 10 pm and I always went to the gym in the morning. My eating habits went out to left field. I just got back from the doctors office and had attended a basic 101 eating class for bariatric patients. Hopefully that will get me back into the swing of things. My goal this year is to get down to 240 lbs

I have not given up!!!!!

Joe, you can do this. It sounds like you were super good at first then slipped back. Just recommit yourself. I know it is hard to not be able to work out in the a.m. Just try and do what you can. Best of luck.

      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.
