4 Mths Po Update



Recommended Posts

Monday marked 4 months since having my sleeve done. I started my sleeve journey @ 321 LBS & today I weighed myself & I am now down a total of 61 LBS!!! I am so estatic at the progress I have had since beginning my life changing journey & I am so excited to see what the future holds for me. This ride has definitely been a rollercoaster ride but it has all been worth it to see & feel the difference in my body, soul, spirit, my confidence.... it is just an amazing journey to be on even with all the ups & downs we may have emotionally, mentally, physically.... I am so proud of myself for being brave enough to have a surgery that scared the crap out of me but I just knew in my heart it was what I needed to have done to become a much happier, healthier me. I am a diabetic, I have neuropathy, high cholesterol, I was on Water pills, pain meds for severe back pain. I am 33 years old & my body felt like I was 85 or 90. I feel a lot better these past 4 months & it gets better everyday!!!! Here are some pictures of my progress...

Congratulations on your success. And for having the courage to document your journey with photos. I don't have that kind of courage and avoid cameras. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

      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.
