Medically supervised weight loss plan starts today!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

My medically supervised weight loss program begins today! I've chosen the 2 shakes and 1 meal a day...

my plan is to have a shake for Breakfast, a shake for lunch and a mean for dinner.

I travel a lot for work so I'm thinking this will be easiest for me.

I plan on snacking on fresh fruit, nuts and veggies. Today marks the day that I give up soda, sparkling Water and all fast food. (fast food is the devil!)

I'm excited to begin this new journey and I'm so grateful for all of the support that you all give me!

please share some healthy recipes or snack food ideas that you have...let me know what works for you :)

p.s. I have to lose 15 lbs in 6 months. Starting weight is 273.

That's awesome progress! If you lose the required amount in under 6 months, do you get to move to surgery sooner? Or do you just keep seeing how much you can lose in the six month period?

      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.
