Recommended Posts

Today I am 4 weeks post op and I am down exactly 40 lbs! I am super proud! Didn't think I would ever be under 260lbs! I was 295 lbs day of surgery and I am now 255 lbs! I already feel so much better and I can't even imagine how I will feel when I lose the other 105 lbs! :-)

Wow congratulations!!! You are definitely an inspiration to me! I'm just starting my liquid pre-op diet today with surgery in two weeks. It will be nice to think of your success when/if I get discouraged with this sugar withdrawal. Way to Go!!!!

its going to take a while aftter surgery before you start to get sugar craving. for a while you wont want food some times it will make you sick just smelling food. then you will wake up in the middle of the night craving your favorite food.

it happend to me not saying it will be like that for you. That and food you used to love and give comfort will now not love you back.

That's fantastic! Our stats are pretty similar. I was 298 on the day of surgery 10/9. I'm 3 Weeks out today and down to 266.2. I'm so impatient and I can't wait for the infamous "front butt" to disappear! On the plus side, losing all that weight around my upper waist has made my boobs look fabulous! Great job! Can't wait to see where this journey takes you!

      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.
