Silly Rant!



Recommended Posts

On August 8 I had sleeve surgery. That's four months ago today. I went into this with no expectations; I was pretty much convinced it wouldn't work.

Then the weight began to fall off.

As I passed 90 pounds gone, and got closer to 4 months, I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if I lose 100 pounds by four months????

Did my body cooperate??? Nooooooooooo. I'm at 98 pounds down. The biatch is hanging onto those two pounds for dear life.

STOMP RANT FUSS STOMP RANT FUSS!!!!!

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations; you look great. I am green with envy. Would you mind sharing what you ate on a typical day during pureed foods. I'm having problems with slow weight loss and Water retention. Maybe a switch up might help.

I started off a lot heavier than you, which means I lose faster than you (generally speaking, there are always exceptions).

Three meals a day, no Snacks. Each meal is 1/3 cup (measure unless it's something like an egg, then it's one egg). No Protein drinks (this is how my surgeon rolls). He doesn't worry about Protein until you're eating regular food.

90 ounces of beverages per day (usually crystal light). sugar free popsicles (I like the tropical flavors) also counts as liquid.

Pureed... no-sugar-added applesauce, greek yogurt (about half a container), mashed potatoes, hummus (eat with a spoon), half an avocado (mash it in the shell, add a dab of mayo, salt and pepper, and mix it up). I think at that stage I could have scrambled eggs (well, one egg). Wedges of laughing cow cheese.

Thanks for the reply. My surgeon will not allow fruit of any kind except sugar free jam. Having a hard time with eggs. Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, refried Beans with a little light sour cream and slice deli turkey breast go down the best. Just finally able to get 60 grams per day and getting to 64 ounces Water or crystal light. I am going to ask about the avocado. I saw a recipe where someone cooked an egg in a half avocado and ate it with some salt, pepper and a little tabasco. Looked good.

First off, you look fantastic! You've got me beat by leaps and bounds! ????

Second, it all else fails, next year is a leap year, so I'm sure it'll all balance out in the end.

      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.
