6'4? did you lose 100lbs?



Recommended Posts

Sorry I misread your question. I thought you asked about pre op diets. Every surgeon has their own set of guidelines. I would still suggest that you speak with a NUT that is affiliated with the surgeon to see what they recommend.

I had surgery December 23. I am still on a liquid diet util January 15.

I'm 6'6". A weight of 180 lbs would be too low for someone your height, in my opinion.

At my peak in August 1999, I was 362, and at my low (August 2013), I was 209. I felt 209 was really too low for me. I had been stabilized at about 215 for 3-4 months, but stopped jogging because of the cold. I'm up to 220, which is giving me panic attacks (kidding, sort of), but even this level is generating nice comments from people.

I was referring to long term post op diet. Beyond liquid and soft food diets. Also I was interested in everyone experiences regarding us taller and larger guys in respects to exercise methods. like what works best & when to do exercising. With us being over 6ft and 390 plus, we tend to loose weight faster than most others in this lifestyle. I want to loose the weight, but do it in a healthy manor and have a routine that is safe. I hope that makes sense. LOL

      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.
