I havent been here for a while



Recommended Posts

HI all. I have not been here for a while. I had surgery the end of October . Had a sleeve done. I started at 247 and am now at 191. I had hoped I would be down more. But I also had surgery to have a tumor removed off of my arm. I also had pneumonia. Not to use those things as an excuse but I did have some set backs. I am looking forward now to getting back in the gym and getting more exercise in. I am doing good with food. Sticking to Proteins and avoiding Snacks. Snacks were my downfall. I have an office job so I really have to make myself move when I am off work so that I get my exercise in. Wanted to say hi and I look forward to being more active on the board. You all give me lots of encouragement and great ideas!! I made this before and after pic today. You guys/gals should do this -it helps me when I get discouraged or have a set back. We have to keep on keeping on!! This surgery was a blessing. I aint ready to stop my progress just yet. Hugs to you all!!

You look great and are doing wonderful. That's an awesome loss so far! I was sleeved 11/16 so we aren't far apart.

      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.
