Not to be outdone by Dub, my 6 month surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

Can't be outdone by Dub , here's my 6 month progress report.

I was 276 at my heaviest that I know of anyways. Was having knee problems, back, sleep apnea, borderline hypertension, high cholesterol, and was headed down the diabetes road fast. Most of those are gone, no more sleep apnea or blood pressure issues, knee still has a little bit to go, but it is better.

I've gone from a size 44 pants and 2XL shirt to a 34 in pants and large shirt.

I've been training for a 5k, which I did this morning, 6 months after my sleeve surgery. Finished just under 30 minutes! So glad I've gone this route of gastric sleeve!post-261380-14620635155147_thumb.jpg

Ryan and all the other studly dudes ... congratulations to you. You are all doing so well.

I can't run anymore (thought I could, but those days are past). So I am jealous of your trotting around out there. And I love, really love, your shirt.

Looking good, Ryan!

I thought you guys were always having "piss'n " contests, not weight loss contests. :)

Both of you look "maaavelous", Daaalings.

Both of you are great examples on how this weight loss "Thing" should and can be done.

I'm having rather a "proud momma" moment! :) (OK, so I'm old)

Great Job!

You don't need my prayers, but there they go-- straight up!

      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.
