I lost 11lbs in 6 days after surgery OMG



Recommended Posts

Unbelievable. I had surgery on 12/30/13 and I was 213lbs just 30min before surgery. Today my mom weighted her self and I said eh what the hell... I was 200lbs OMG... It's hard just drinking liquids but now it's sooooo worth it. It makes me work harder and not think about food much. I know that I will never be 200lbs again after this week. So yes, it's worth having surgery. I know this might just be Water weight but I am loving it. I wanna tear because I am soooooooooo happy. Guys just keep trying... I never thought it would be me.. Especially that much. I pray and thank god for not having any problem drinking my liquids except for plain water. Still don't like the flavor of plain water. One tip I have is, don't think about tomorrow, just focus on today. I've been watching movies looking at work dresses that I can't wait to buy and wear... Take a nap during the afternoon, read books and spend time with my family. They've been so good and not eat in front of me.. Yes I am beyond HAPPY and wanted to share with my second family (you guys)

Congrats on your success so far! I was suprised myself that I had lost 10lbs one week out from the surgery. I kind of chuckled and said it must have been 10lbs of stomach they pulled out of me :)

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. :) Just remember your energy and enthusiasm in the coming weeks if and when you hit a stall and don't beat yourself about it! Your body will lose weight at its own pace.

      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.
