Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

How's everyone doing? 4/20 and down 57lbs so far!

I overdid it in the sun yesterday at a fest. Even though I was constantly drinking Water and mostly sitting I ended up having to leave because I almost passed out in the 90 degrees. It was my first time out in the sun and heat for an extended amount of time since my surgery. Other than that no issues.

How are all my other April peeps?

Hello April vsg crew. I lost 16 pounds on the pre op diet and had surgery 28 April 16 and have lost 36 pounds for a total of 52 lbs.

I try to not get on the scale as much as that it can be discouraging. I feel like I am getting energy and just see quality of life improvements.

My eating habits are definetly better and I am tracking what I eat, my Water intake has greatly improved as that after surgery I really struggled.

I am really thankful for making this decision to have the surgery.

My secret is a super high starting BMI lol. I am substituting 1 meal per day with a premier shake too which I suspect helps a lot too.

I'm starting to be able to eat what feels like pretty decent. Then at the same time, I feel like it's too much in comparison to what things were like in the beginning.

I agree. I get pretty happy when I eat enough to feel 'satisfied' similar to how I used to feel after eating. Then I feel guilty afterwards because I feel like I really overdid it. I have days where my head tells me I'm hungry all the time, and have to really try to talk myself out of it.

Yeah... i can understand how people who have been sleeved for years say that we all have the potential for regain if we don't change our habits... i think if i grazed all day on slider foods o probably could easily reach "normal" calories

I'm happy with the results so far, but I do worry that after the honeymoon is over I may struggle. My biggest issue right now is taking time to eat. Between work and kid activities right now I'm stretched. I rarely sit down, eat, chew slowly, etc. I'm not making bad food choices, but I get sick to my stomach/too full feeling quite often because I'm eating too fast.

The positive, I usually cannot wait to get the gym every day....I went pre-surgery, but it was chore. It's motivating to see my endurance increase and run times decrease :-)

I'm experiencing all of the same things. I'm hungrier and feel like I want to eat more but still can't eat as much as I want to in my head (which is great).

Anyone else hit the dreaded 3 month stall? I've been dancing around the same 2-3 lbs for the last couple of weeks.

      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.
