Officially 100 lbs Down!



Recommended Posts

Had my gastric sleeve surgery on May 11th, 2015 and I couldn't be happier with my progress! Since January, I have lost a total of 100 lbs. I still am having trouble grasping that I lost so much weight in so little time, but I am absolutely ecstatic! I never thought this day would come.

I feel great, clothes fit me better, I'm feeling more confident and I finally feel like I'm working towards the body I've always wanted but never thought I'd have. Not only that, doing every day things is so much easier. I fit into seats better, seat belts fit me, I don't have to squeeze through people when I'm at a party, stairs are much easier, just walking from point a to point b is so much easier. I feel more sociable because I'm less insecure. I find myself wanting to go out and explore new places and mingle with new people. Overall I just feel happier and excited about what's to come.

I started losing weight on July 15th and I'm 50 down now. I totally hear you about seats.... before I could not fit comfortably in most restaurant booths and would either 1) verify the table moved or 2) take a table. Now with just 50 down I can sit in any booth and have room! Looking forward to the next 50 to drop :)

      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.
