Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone

I am 11 months PostOp i was sleeved on 15 june 2014, so far I have lost 88lbs , and still have 37lbs more to lose to reach my goal

I actually feel that i have made the best decision ever ...but now am hitting a plateau, i havent lost a lb for almost 5 weeks now!

I want my friends out there who r years post op and reached their goals or even those who still struggle to do it to share me their experience..

I have a lot of questions and also fears ...how do u reach ur goal? ...are u eating much more now or u can still control it ?

Is it hard to maintain ur success ? ... have u gained any weight since then? coz i read here some gained a lot of the weight back ! so how did it work that way? why is that?

I hope we can discuss it here ..so we can motivate eachothers , so we can reach goal for those who havent made it yet ..and know how to maintain it for good

Thanks

Sara

Congrats on the successful weight loss!! As you get closer to goal, the stalls happen more frequently. Just continue to exercise, drink plenty of Water or no calorie liquids and stick with fat free/lean Proteins and non-starchy veggies.

If I eat any potatoes, sugar, flour, rice, bread Pasta, etc...I am hungrier for a day or two and I will be up a pound or two for a couple days so I avoid those things 99% of the time.

I workout 2X a day (morning & night) 7 days a week.

I am able to eat more now, so I add extra non starchy veggies to my meals and Snacks.

Good luck and continued success!

so your surgeon or nut hasn't had you on a specific eating plan up to this point?

I rarely eat fruits, due to high carbs. I eat at least 80 gms of Protein per day

My Nut told me to avoid simple carbs and sweets and to start my meal always with Protein then veggies and then rice or potato if any and to sure work out at least an hour/day

to be honest I dont workout everyday, But I beleive i should stick to more restricted diet!

My nutritionist told me the same as Sara's told her: first Protein, then vegs, then complex carbo if any room left.

      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.
