6 monthe post op and the beat goes on...



Recommended Posts

I am six months post sleeve gastrectomy and I am down to 229! This last month has been rough for me. I lost my my father at the end of April and my body responded by snacking and comfort eating. I gained back up to 238 from 233, but worked very hard the last two weeks to get my weight back down and it looks like I'm back on track. I have accomplished so much this year and I can't give up. I ran my first 5k, yes I ran the ENTIRE thing, in just under 45 minutes! I have hiked many trails. I am proud, and I know my dad is proud of me too. My biggest regret is I never got to run with him. He was an avid runner and very healthy. But I know he runs with me every time I run now.

You look amazing. I plan to do a 5k in December. Can I ask what your starting weight was?

      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.
