3 month Post-Op checkup



Recommended Posts

I had my 3 month checkup today with my surgeon.... He was very supportive, said he was blown away when he saw me.

Everything went well, they don't do labwork until 6 months out, so he asked a lot of questions about what I am eating, exercise, how I feel and such.

I did mention that my appetite has returned, and I am eating 5 small meals a day. So he told me to order Optimized Saffron to help control it. He said people swear by it, including his wife. We will see!!!

I have lost 49 pounds in 3 months.... Pretty good for a Low BMI'er.... I thought it would be slower. I am lucky, haven't had any stalls, pain, gas, nausea the entire time.

Woooo hoooooo

Picture with Randy Fenoli was taken on April 25 2015, the day after my initial consultation with the surgeon.

Picture with the football player was taken yesterday (3 months after surgery) after losing 49 pounds

      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.
