40 Lbs Lost In Two Weeks...



Recommended Posts

Today I have lost a total of forty pounds and it has only been two weeks and two days post op... I would be worried that is a little fast but I am celebrating this victory... Before I considered surgery the most I lost was fifteen pounds only to gain it back quicker than I lost it... Now to date I am almost half of what my goal weight loss is only sixty more to go...

I'm very jealous but extremely happy for you. These last 14 lbs have been the hardest to lose. :(

I'm feeling pretty good! I have pain in my stomach region. No other issues though. I'm getting discharged soon. I had some yogurt and skim milk this morning. How are you handling full liquids?

Barely. I just don't have any desire to ingest anything. I'm forcing myself every few hours to have a few ounces of a shake and a bottle of Water. food in general just sounds grose! I was pretty sore and campy

I was pretty sore and crampy thismorning, but once they pulled the drainage tube I had instant relief. I am having an issue with my left eye being completely dialated while my right eye is normal. Doctors are thinking its related to the patch I was wearing behind my left ear for Nausia. Some kind of reaction. We're just watching it real close. Glad you are doing ok!

I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope that they can figure it out soon! I was fortunate to not have a drainage tube. They are miserable, so I feel for you. I had major surgery on my left shoulder in 1998 and I had 3 drain tubes for about a month. They are terrible. I'm still having some abdominal pain and I'm sure that will continue for a little while longer. I feel like the easy (surgery) part is over. I feel that the hard part is learning how to eat right, staying active and getting all the Protein in. I know the Protein is the key!!

      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.
