2 month mark & down 50 lbs!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited! And THANKFUL that the weight is really coming off! Now, I've hit a stall or two during these first 2months & I've had to exercise & keep a sharp eye on what I'm eating & Portion Control, but this procedure has been the best decision I've made. I'm filled with so much hope for the future (& the near future involves spring & summer) & that's a gift I have not always possessed. Grateful!!!!

WOW! 50 pounds down in 2 months that is fantastic. Has that been since your surgery day?

If I may ask, about how many ounces are you able to eat at one time? I am 6 weeks out and suffering with pain every time I eat. Some times I am able to only eat 1 1/2 to 2 ounces other times I can get about 1/2 cup down depending on what the food is.

I'm usually able to just eat 1/4 cup. I haven't been measuring in ounces yet. I find that I probably eat every 2 hrs--sometimes it takes me a while to finish the 1/4 cup. I'm right there with you--sometimes I can eat 1/2 cup & sometimes I feel stuffed after 2-3 bites. Makes no sense, but I just go with it! Good luck to you!!!

My starting weight was 268 & I'm 218 now. I am counting the 2 weeks weight loss prior to surgery. I was 253 on day of surgery. This is an interesting journey--some weeks I'll stay the same weight & some I'll lose 4-5lbs. My goal is to lose 8-10lbs a month, but ultimately, I guess I'll just see what my body decides to do. Keep up the good work!

      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.
