Recommended Posts

Mine and hubby's surgeries were on 8th and everything went smoothly. We are back home and doing quite well. One week follow up post op he was down 37 from one week pre op and I was down 27. Don't go back until end of August. So happy we made this change!

Hey all!

Had my surgery July 29th. Start weight was 267 and my goal weight is 160! Love the idea of getting to know others going through similar stages!

How did everyone else do with their surgeries?!

Thstcurvygirl...we are very similar. My surgery was 7-31. Starting weight 255 and goal for now is 180 because I'm 6 foot tall and then will reevaluate once I've reached that goal. Things are going good, just ready I chew on something besides Jello and Popsicles lol

I am really struggling lately. I am still losing weight and am down from 242 at start of surgery investigation, 232 before start of liquid diet, 217 at time of surgery to 174.4. The problem is I find myself hungry or thinking about food much more often than I was before. I find myself doing the non thinking just shoving of food/chocolate in my mouth. It makes me wish I had had gastric bypass so I had disgusting effects when I ate fats/sweets. As well, I am perpetually tired and irritated. I have a hard time staying awake during work, focusing, and yet when I lay down at night I have a hard time falling asleep. I want to ring my toddlers necks all the time and feel like I cannot stand them especially before that time of the month. I want to tell off random strangers for their stupidity or behavior. I live in a perpetual state of fear of turning back into my old self in regards to food addiction and regaining the weight as I have always done in the past. Has anyone else felt like this? Does anyone have any ideas?

      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.
