A day in the life of a 4-5 month sleever



Recommended Posts

Hi All!!!!

Just checkin in, thought it would be fun to see what a Day in the life of a 4 month sleever looks like!!!

Breakfast for me is 6 ounces of yogurt. I eat the Fage yogurt with the fruit on the side. It is a 190 calories and 19 grams of carbs. That might be too many carbs for some people.

I then fill up 3 -20 ounce bottles of Water and put 1/4 blueberries/strawberries/pineapple in the water.

lunch is 3 ounces of chicken breast, 1 oz veggie with cheese

snack is yogurt or cheese

Another 20 ounce water

dinner is same as lunch

After dinner ill have 2 more 20 ounces of fruit infused water

I just had a hysterectomy so I'm not doing any "planned" activity. Although I do go up and down our stairs throughout the day. Also, whenever I go to the store I try to park out in the parking lot far away.

I dont wait 30 minutes between food and drink, I need to work on that. I feel like I could be doing more so I welcome any suggestions.

Water is 80-100 oz

Calories 950-1000

Carbos under 45

Vitamins are: 1 multi, 2 calcium chews, 1 fish oil.

Liver enzymes were above normal. I stopped tylenol now their normal. I am getting major headaces which I hope are just allergies...everything else has been great.

Any feedback? Id love to hear what your doing?

Hi there,

I am 4 months out also. For me the hardest thing is getting all the Water in. It is a real struggle. For breakfast I usually have an egg or a Protein shake if I am in a hurry. Mid morning I have the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt. lunch is usually cheese, afternoon snack is a Protein Bar or nuts, and dinner is a Protein and vegetable.

I am doing really well and although the weight loss has slowed, it is still trending down. All the post-op labs were fine so no worries there.

What has helped me the most I think is developing an exercise routine. I go to the gym twice a week and can feel the difference it makes.

Water ranges from 30-70 oz

Protein about 60-80 Gm

I don't count carbs or fat though I am guessing calories are about 900

Vitamins- 1 children's chewable and 1 Calcium chew

      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.
