I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)

WOW!!! You have done an amazing job!!! If you don't mind me asking what is your weekly exercise routine and what does a typical daily intake include for you as far as calories/protein/carbs? I am 3.5 months out and would love to have your success in 9 months or even a years time. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you! Admittedly, I don't really exercise which I suppose is a no-no but I have two jobs and when I'm not working I'm sleeping. I eat about 1200 calories a day, give or take a couple hundred. I exceed my nutrionists goal of 55g of Protein a day. I don't dwell on carbs too much because fruit and veggies have carbs, I just stay away from a lot of starch and sugar. Thankfully sweets make me sick so there's no problem there! I don't pay too much attention to macros, I just make sure to count my calories, keep it reasonable, and plan my "nights out" or treats accordingly.

I've found a good balance, my doctor is thrilled with what I'm doing, and I'm still losing about 2 lbs a week so it seems to be working just fine for me!

OK I've finally decided to be brave and post a couple of photos, apologies they are pretty poor quality as I'm not overly fond of pictures but before was June last year, the latest one is yesterday (I was obviously concentrating on something else in that one ????)

      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.
