Measure and see the difference! I did!



Recommended Posts

Hi you guys!

I wanted to share this with you because I am so excited and want to encourage you to measure yourself if you are not already doing it. Its never to late to start!!!

My name is Deb, I had my sleeve done on June 6th I lost 20 lbs in the first 15 days (weird from what ive heard) but not much since another 6 lbs and I found myself being a little discouraged even though in my head I know that really that is incredible but I am an instant gratification person and always want more and right now (probably reason for getting fat in the first place) but anyway...

This morning the scale wasn't cooperating with me but I kept looking in the mirror as I would pass by and I could see a difference so I decided to measure myself, someone had suggested it on here I believe so I had measured before surgery and boy am I glad I did!!!!

I have lost 1 inch on my neck, 2.5 on my bust, 3 on my hips, 3 on my waist!!!!!!!!

      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.
