Just got home from my surgeon's office (11 months out)



Recommended Posts

I've hit every goal he's given me. I listen to all his advice. But now I won't see him until next year, which kinda makes me nervous.

He asked me if I wanted to go any lower... Well... Yeah! lol

My weight today: 129.3 lbs. My surgeon's goal for next year: 115 lbs. that might be a little low for me as I enjoy weights, but we will see.

Topics of discussion today: hair, BMs, Protein, and plastic surgery. :)

Excited about the plastics talk!

Here's some recent befores & nows:

Congrats! Is that to say you are a year out? What was your starting weight, may I ask?

Thank you.

My relationship with food has def changed. I no longer pleasure-seek through eating. I eat out of necessity. I can physically do things I couldn't do before (running, burpees, ride a bike). My initial response would've been: no, my whole life hasn't changed. But truthfully a lot of it has.

      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.
