Recommended Posts

So this is my first time posting. Im 5'10 and my surgery was 8/26/13. My weight at surgery was 376 As of today im down 48lbs! Other ppl say they see it, I really cant. However my face is significantly smaller. Its soooo hard. Not the not eating part, but the way I feel. At times I wonder if this was the right thing to do. The numbers mske me snsp out of it lol. But my energy is sooo low its terrible. Im having problems with Protein. The shakes make me gag... but hey it'll get better n i cant be mad at 48lbs in 26 days!

Hi, I haven't had my surgery yet but, what is the hardest part for you? Is it just the energy and Protein? Congrats on your weight loss!!!

I have lost 40 pounds in one month and 10 days and I don't see it either. Everyone else does though.

I am like you with Protein shakes. I am making smoothies with the powder to try to lile it better. I also either have diarrhea (sorry, tmi) or horrible heartburn after I do the Protein drinks.

I had energy issues the first week or so but now I feel great.

I am super glad I chose this surgery and honestly ig I don't lose another pound I will still be happy.

Thank you! Yes for me its having no energy and feeling sluggish and nautious all day.. which im hearing is due to not getting in my Protein. Other then that im ok. No pain, no scarring, no stomach aches. Just lack of energy

Diarrhea after shakes suggests you are now lactose I tolerant. Take a lactaid or two with your shakes, it will help you feel better.

I lost 45 pounds preop (started at 378) and I couldn't see it either, well maybe just a tiny bit in my face but definitely nowhere else. I did feel it in the way my clothing fit though! I had my surgery Monday and gained 13 pounds while I was in the hospital, from all the Fluid they pumped into me, I'm assuming. I weighed myself the other day and saw that I had lost that weight and haven't stepped on the scale since. I look at it everytime I go into the bathroom but I don't want to begin the habit of weighing every day and then feeling disappointed when the numbers aren't as low as some I've seen reported here. I just keep telling myself, "this will work" if I follow all the rules and do what I'm supposed to do, I will lose weight.

I agree! I have told myself after the surgery I will not become scale obessed. I don't even own a scale. The way I feel and the way my clothes fit will determine my happiness. I see so many posts about daily weigh in numbers and I just couldn't deal with my weight numbers going up and down. Good luck to everyone on meeting your goals! I can't wait to start my new journey.

Oh no, my scale calls to me. I hear it say Ella every time I walk into the bathroom! I'm just trying to ignore it because I know once I start, I won't stop. :)

Crystal that is some serious progress in one months time! Congrats!! I hate you are feeling weak though. Have you tried the Isopure zero carb rtd drinks in the glass bottle? They aren't milky, and I've had worst tasting beverages.< /p>

      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.
