Recommended Posts

Im 6 wks and only down 20 lbs...i would love 35 lbs :(

Vicki: I was a slow loser at first. But now I'm 9 months out from surgery, reached goal weight of 125. I've lost 117lbs since the morning of surgery.

Just remember to track everything you eat. I use MFP - My Fitness Pal. Protein is extremely important to weight loss so make sure you are getting enough of it. From 4-9 months, I have needed 100g + of Protein. Your surgeon will be able to tell you what you need on your visits by looking at your lab results.

I think that's Wat has happened to me. I really got my protein in the first 3wks then it kept making me sick, so I try to eat my protein, n I can't eat enough to get allot of protein. So my weight lost has really slowed down. N every time I eat im eating to much. Im wks out n I don't want to goof :(

I make sure I get a minimum of 60g of Protein but usually it is between 80 and 100. My calories are around 850 a day. Much of my Protein is from food but I usually have 1 shake and half a Quest Protein Bar to keep my numbers up. I am down 45 since surgery on July 10.

I have a problem w meats too and don't eat fish either. I'll eat the Special K Plus Protein Cereal w milk, Almonds, Protein Bars, Danon Light n Fit Greek Yogurt 2x protein, cheese, cottage cheese. I still have at least 1 shake a day depending what I need for protein (sometimes 2 shakes).

      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.
