Progress Pics: Before and 1 Year Later



Recommended Posts

Been a while since I've posted here. Figured i would check in and FINALLY post pics of my progress.

I'm 40 years old, and 6'5. Was Sleeved last year on June 5th. It's been an amazing year since surgery. I've gotten a life back that I never thought I would live again and can actually do things I wasn't physically able to do. Being Sleeved was the best thing I've ever done for myself! I still have a way to hit goal. My Doc said a goal of 250-275 would be realistic and ideal for my height. Maybe by this time next year I'll be there.

The Before shot is me the day before surgery. The "during" shot is me yesterday at 335lbs..... 170lbs gone!

      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.
