Month long stall is over!



Recommended Posts

So 4 weeks ago, I was 184, 3 weeks 187, 2 weeks 185, last week 185. And this was all while I was sick with diarrhea and on antibiotics that made me so nauseous I could barely eat or drink. Even needed 3 rounds of IV fluids. Well last week my gastroenterologist switched antibiotics and I feel great! I probably doubled my calorie and Fluid intake and lost 3 pounds! But really I'm just THRILLED to not feel crappy anymore. Had a great time at a chili cookoff fundraiser on Saturday...I had one or two bites each of the 3 best chilis, a bite of tiramisu, and 32 oz. of propel zero. Yes, I'm quite a party animal!

Awesome! Your patience finally paid off! Sometimes it's a little rough, even in a great community like this, to see how everyone's numbers seem to be dropping like rocks, when

I feel like every pound is so hard fought and won. But just wait til you see us in six more months!!

I was sleeved in November 2013. Since then I have lost 54 lbs and have had mini stalls along the way. They come and go and can be so frustrating but keep up the good work and believe me it will pass and weight will drop. My doctor said that one pound loss a week is really what they expect for having the sleeve surgery. I too thought it would shed off faster but I'm really grateful it's going gradual way!!!

      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.
