Second F/U visit with surgeon



Recommended Posts

Although he never set a particular "goal" for me I felt like my first f/u visit on June 2nd that he was disappointed in my weight loss. I was hoping to be in ONEderland today but that didn't happen :(

I am dreading the scale today - I use to step backwards up onto them before WLS! I am confident enough to step up facing forward, just like I did in June, but I sure hope I don't feel like I didn't lose enough :/

Its bad enough to have personal drama outside the WLS world and to also be worrying about a darn number on a scale!

OK - I have said my piece.

Wish me luck!

My surgery weight was 238 so I've lost 35 since surgery. It goes in fits and starts. This week has been very good with 1.6 pounds down today and about a half pound for several days in a row before that. I start to expect that kind of loss but I know that isn't practical. I exercise quite a bit and have increased my calories to 800-1000 per day. I haven't looked into the Halloween challenge. Are you doing it?

      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.
