Down 70lbs with pics



Recommended Posts

As of this morning I am down 70 lbs. Woohoo!

I started this journey last November when I inquired about weightloss surgery with my pcp. At that time my weight was 289 lbs. I got my referral to my bariatrics team (Dr Gould in Manchester, NH). I went to the info seminar in Dec of 2012. From that point on I started walking with a pedometer and watching what I ate.

After jumping through many hoops and waiting for what seemed like forever I was finally sleeved on Aug. 26th.

I weighed 266 when I started the pre-op diet. The day of surgery I weighed 251. Three days later I weighed 259.

It's been 10 weeks since my surgery and I am now down to 219 lbs. I am really hoping, trying and working towards hitting the 200 lb mark for New Years. But my next goal is actually 215 lbs. That is the weight I was when I met my husband. I am hoping that I will hit that goal sometime next week.

I would also like to thank the many wonderful people on this sight that have be a great support for me through out this journey so far.post-54502-13838397109648_thumb.jpg post-54502-1383839713567_thumb.jpg

      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.
