Eight Weeks and finally hit ONEDERLAND!



Recommended Posts

I started my new journey on May 13, 2013 weighting my highest weight ever 244 lbs and 5'2 inches. I had my sleeve done on June 12, 2013 and I must admit at first I felt like what the heck did I do because I could not eat the way i use to.

Now, I would not trade it for the world!!!! Today at weigh in I was 199.6 lbs and I feel like I'm floating on air I am just soooooo EXCITED. At first I could not see it for a long time, then my sweet daughter asked to take my picture this mornind and I actually see the difference.

I am truly rocking 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.
