Impatiently Waiting for the Pounds to Fall Off!



Recommended Posts

I am one year and four months out from the sleeve procedure. Initially, the weight seem to have just fell off. Now, I struggle with weight loss. Thanksgiving of last year, I weighed 165 pounds. I currently weigh 170 pounds. Since last Thanksgiving I had gotten up to 178 pounds. I am a teacher and do not work over the summer and I ate more than I should. Since school has started back I have really been watching my eating and I have lost 8 pounds in about two months. I do not work out like I said, but I plan to get better. I am interested in possibly getting pregnant over Christmas break and want to lose as much as I can prior to pregnancy. I am thinking about going on a Proteins shake diet, similar to what I did before surgery. Does anyone recommend this as a method of weight loss?

I do that at times to give my stomach a rest. I usually only do 3-4 days. You could try it but ultimately it's going to require eating right. I know, I don't exercise either and this last 20 lbs is going to MAKE me do it. Which I should be doing anyway!

      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.
