Second Check In With Doc..... :) 9 1/2 weeks out



Recommended Posts

I had my check in with my doc yesterday. At my two week check in my doc gave me a sheet with goals that he would like me to meet and a timeline. By this appointment he wanted me at 260. Yesterday at home I weighed in at 262. I was happy with that and thought it was pretty close. Now when I weighed in at the docs they had me at 265, but I was fully clothed. This morning when I got on the scale at home I was 260. I was so happy.

Other than my weight my appointment went great. My appointment was with the NP Debbie, and I love her. She is great, she listens, she engages and I feel like when I am there I am not being rushed and my time is mine. She looked at my logs that I brought (I like to keep things in order) I have my food log and my weight log. She was pretty impressed with all my info. She said I am doing really good and to keep doing what I am doing.

She did go over with me that I will get to a point where I will have times the weight won't be coming off and wanted to make sure I was tracking other than just the scale. I told her I was taking my measurements monthly, taking monthly pics and trying on clothes periodically to see how my body is changing.

Overall I felt great when I walked out of my appointment Now onto the next two months!! :)

      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.
