end of year accomplishments



Recommended Posts

Well this year I was sleeved 8/3, after taking 3 years to finally make the decision. I am down 64.5 lbs including pre op. Feels amazing. I then had a right total knee replacement, 12/22, and the pain and nausea are unbelievably worse then I thought it was going to be. I was hoping it did not throw me too much off my schedule and routine, with the sleeve and weight loss, but it has. I am really trying to stay on track as much as I can, but it is so hard, and of course no gym right now, but I am grateful for the weight loss I have had. Would love to hear anyone elses stories on their end of year weight loss and the journey so far, whoever wants to share. Here's to each and everyone of us for much success in the coming year

@@sbg224 you are doing great.

Just looked at your stats on left of your post......current BMI of 34.9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This done and then a total knee replacement just recently.

Amazing......sleeve & knee replacement in the same year? Awesome strategy.

You are gonna feel like The 6 Million Dollar Woman once that knee heals up.

My stats are on the left of my post, too.

They pretty much tell the story. Life is good. 2015 was a year that has closed out well and 2016 is looking like it'll be off to a great start.

      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.
