April Sleevers -- 6 Month Progress



Recommended Posts

I just had my six-month post-op follow-up appointment. I thought I was doing well, but it was great to get a professional opinion. Fortunately, I was right.

I can't believe how quickly the last six months have flown by. I am more mobile, and I am looking like a melting snowman!

I still have a long way to go, but since I was to a point where even losing 10 pounds was impossible pre-op, it is a miracle that I am losing so well now.

How are the other April Sleevers doing?

I just had my six-month appt and I'm down 100 lbs! I've gone from 325 to 225. My surgeon is very pleased, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Goal is 175ish (I'm 5'8").

Good luck, fellow April sleevers!

Great to hear!

It is so weird to actually look forward to doctor's appointments but I definitely looked forward to my six-month follow up.

Haha, I agree @innersurfergirl! I used to dread getting on the scale at the dr and now I look forward to 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.
