I Don't Want To Jinx Myself......



Recommended Posts

..... but I think I my body might have finally "got it".

I am nearly 5 months post op and up until tthe last month or so I have been so frustrated and discouraged.

My weight loss is still lower where I want it to be, I am 21 weeks out (147 days) and down 34.3 pounds since my day of surgery. 14 pounds of that on the last 40 days or so. I actually lost 3.2 in the last 8 days!!!

I still have a long way to go, and I know that weight loss starts slowing down a bit at around 6 months (Yikes). Since I started out so slow (20 pounds in the first nearly 4 months). I am hoping that will not be the case for me.

I am just happy to see the scale, or, in my case, Wii go down. (I had my hubby hide the scale, and have felt much better since then. Even though I weigh myself every day or 3 I am no longer obsessesd with the number any more.) What a relief!!!

      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.
