6 months post op need motivation



Recommended Posts

Happy Wednesday my fellow sleevers!! So I am 6 months post op as of 10/10 and down 92 lbs!!! I am so happy with my results and I am in completely bliss with my sleeve!! Anyhow! So please hear me out, lately I have been feeling so unmotivated to work out. I am still watching what I eat, but have noticed I can eat more. This scares me, I put myself on a liquid diet to try and "shrink" my pouch and kind of reset. This helped, I lost 5 lbs in 2 days and I was ecstatic, but now I'm back to my regular diet and I gained a pound. I'm not worried over the pound I know i will loose it, my concern is how easy it was to gain it and how slow my weight loss has been now. I still have about 100 lbs to loose to be at my goal weight, and at this point this seems almost impossible. If you all could share some words of encouragement, tips, rants anything! Lol I would appreciate it. Thank you all!!!

Hello I am 5 months out and can eat 10 to 12 oz at a time. Yes this is scary for me, but I stick with the plan Protein and Water first very low carbs. My weight is coming off slow 80 pounds so far and 80 to go. It seems like I will never get to gaol, when find myself thinking that way I take time to look back at what I have done so far and it helps. Remember new way of living life style change you and your sleeve will win!! Just stick to the rules. If working out is not working for you pick up a active hobby anything as long as you are not seating on you rear. Good luck, and it sounds like you have done very well so far!! ROCK YOUR SLEEVE!!!!!!!

      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.
