Today is my 1 year surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

Hello!

When I started this journey I was 260 pounds (Sept 2014) and today I'm at 125. Pant size 24 to 6.

My goal was 130 but for the life of me, I can't stop loosing. I meet with my NUT soon so hopefully she can give me food ideas to maintain. Fortunately, it has been a smooth ride and I'm glad I got on board!

The only issue I'm dealing with is restless leg which I didn't have before. I'm hoping that it will subside soon.

I want to thank everyone for your support and advice. I wish everyone much success!

-Kim

A magnesium supplement may help with the leg issue. Great job on your loss!

Congrats!! When my restless leg fires up it is always because my thyroid med is off. If you are on thyroid med, might be worth getting it checked.

Hello!

Thank you all for the words of encouragement and the the leg advise. I am taking Magnesium now. I see my bariatric doctor in 2 days for my one year check up and labs. I will talk with her about it.

My daily intake:

I have a premier Protein shake on the way to work.

Morning snack is a fruit or nuts

lunch is Chili or salad or tuna

dinner is whatever we can find at home or when we go out (we carpool and my husband is not on any particular diet)

So if we go to Taco Bell, I get a taco, toss the shell and eat the rest like a salad

Otherwise - we grill steaks 2-3 nights a weak (emptynesters - we can have steak every night) :P

Rib eye steaks make me dump so I have to get either a Filet Mignon or sirloin.

End the day with a Protein Shake or sugar free pudding.

That is a typical day - I don't have much of an appetite BUT some days - I can't get enough to eat and usually end up with a tummy ache by the time I go to bed. When will I learn not to eat so late? UGH!

Today I'm sick with a cold/flu for the first time with my new tummy and I'm researching what I can take, cold medicine wise. I haven't been sick in 2 years. So I will be searching this lovely side for any advise.

You have have a GREAT day!

      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.
