2 Month Progress ( Pic Included)



Recommended Posts

It's been about 2 months since my surgery and I've lost about 32 lbs. It's been slow... but I'm very thankful for my progress... I have about 70-80 more pounds to go and I will be at goal. This is definitely NOT an easy way out... my body has been rearranged...but I still have my daily struggles with making the "right" food choices. I thank God everyday for blessing me with my tool..because there is NO way in the world I could have lost 32 pounds this quickly... any other way. It has not been easy..and I have a loooonnnggg way to go...but I know I will get there!

You look great! I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I've lost 24lbs, these last few weeks have been slower than the first that's for sure. Keep up the good work we are all in this together!

Congrats! We have the same starting weight and I'm guessing our surgeries were close. I was sleeved 2/18 and so far I've only lost a total of 34 lbs. 24 post op, so I'm a slow loser also. We should keep in touch threw this journey. Friend me if you'd like.

You look great mama! Keep it up! We didn't gain it overnight, and won't loose it that way either. Perspective is key in this. You are getting healthier and Mo Betta than before! Well done!

Congratulations. You look great. I am 6 days post op. And yes I truly understand it's not the easy way out. People who say that to me again might get cursed out.

i know right? That is SOOOOO irritating considering all that we have gone through... not knowing if you are going to wake up from surgery... going from normal bites to teeny weeny baby bites...taking an hour to eat something that normally would take you about 10-15 minutes. Not being able to drink while you eat... no more Diet Dr. Pepper for me....battling "head hunger" which in my opinion is WAY worse than physical hunger. Having to get in your "protein" when your body is full and your literally uncomfortable from feeling stuffed.

This is by far one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with. It has become so frustrating at times... I simply just drink shakes all day so I don't have to deal with solid foods. On the bright side...my weight loss is coming along and I am forever grateful for that. My current NSV ( my size 16's are getting loose so I'm on my way to a 14) and I can wear a size Large in Old Navy tops instead of XXL and XL. :-) (my fav store right now)

Thanks to everyone who has commented and left words of encouragement... you guys help keep me focused on the BIGGER picture....and not my daily inconveniences.

      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.
