Finished my 6 month supervised today! 38 lbs lost



Recommended Posts

I went in for my last nutritionist visit this morning and I was surprised to find I had lost another 5 1/2 pounds. That makes a total loss of 38 and I am very excited about that. I was very commited and I think that shows. I think they will be submitting my plan to insurance in the next couple of days and I can't imagine why they would deny me. However, even if they approve it I will probably be waiting till late January or early Feb for the surgery because I have to be released by my heart Dr. because of my blood thinners.

No matter what I intend to keep going with my eating plan just like I am going to a nutritionist. It is a lifestyle change after all!

Congratulations on finishing the 6 months and losing the weight you did. Next Monday is my 6th visit. I did great the first couple of months and then last month I only lost 2 pounds. This month has been filled with stress and even though I am following my plan I do not see the weight coming off. Wow you and I will have about a 2 to 3 month wait after our last visit as mine will not be able to be done until Jan or Feb due to a 2 day chemical stress test I have to take in Dec. Plus my surgeon is leaving the country for the Holidays and only does surgery on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I sure could use the extra support during this 3 month break. Would you be interested in emailing each other and reporting in to each other on our weight loss? Or maybe even chatting online?

@@ssflbelle That would be fine with me. It does help when you have someone that is going through some of same issues. I will send you my email via messaging.

      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.
