Three Months Anniversary



Recommended Posts

Wow three months since I had surgery seems like forever ago!

I am down 46 lbs since June 2nd surgery and I feel Great! Loads of energy

I had to lose 18lbs pre surgery so I started on low fat diet in April which adds up to a whopping 63lbs

I look so much better than I did

I don't keep a food diary because I eat the same variation of food every day- 6 small meals

My saving food is Cream of Wheat, never ate it before but now it keeps me sane

Since the first couple of weeks my weight loss has been slow with lots of stalls, but it is continuing 1-2 lbs each week

I am almost half way there

I exercise 3-4 times a week-I have a very busy job and I don't always get time out to exercise

If you are considering surgery-I won't lie to you it is very hard the first few weeks and I did suffer from a form of depression, I missed having the option of eating 'normal' food. Once you get into a routine it become easier and your new diet becomes 'normal'

I can't eat meat it sticks and I don't like the feeling so I do eat moist food rather than dry-minced Turkey in dishes that I would have put minced beef.

I love the new Me! and I can't wait to Celebrate getting into wonderland! Although it may be November or December before I get the 17 lbs off

      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.
