1 year and 8 months post op! ????



Recommended Posts

And doing awsome. My starting weight was 305 and my year anniversary I was 165. My goal was 155- 159. Here I am 8 months later and still 165-168 pounds. I feel like I eat like a normal person. If I want a cookie I eat a cookie. I still can't eat very much but I haven't had a hard time with any foods. It hasn't been hard for me to stay at this weight. I'm So happy I did this and sometimes I even forget I had it done. Totally worth it!!! Gonna try alittle harder to get the last off cause me and my husband are trying to get pregant so I wanna hit goal before that. ????

Thanks. ???? I remember just starting out being terrified it would be so easy to put it back on and all the posts I read were "don't eat sugar " don't eat bread" or you will gain your weight back. Well I just wanted to let people know I can eat like a normal person and am just fine. Of coarse I don't over do it but I'm defently not living on a diet now.

Reading this makes me so happy because I am a week post op and feeling like "how will I ever feel normal again!" But I want this more then anything. Reading that you feel like eat normally makes me feel better. Good luck!

Congrats. Keep up the good work and it will happen. Who knows May be you are pregnant already. Check it out. Good luck. I know what you are going thru, my hubby and I tried to have a baby for 2yrs after my first son but nothing happened. It wasn't until after I finished my last appointment to get my surgery date that I found out that I was pregnant. I guess it happened cos my mind was on the surgery instead. I had a baby boy and started the sleeve process all over again. God will bless you and other women out there just like he blessed me.

      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.
