Six-Month Diet Program Pictures -- Before and Almost-The-End



Recommended Posts

One of my colleagues sent me a picture that was taken the day before I began my six-month nutrition program required by insurance company.

That was March 21.

The other picture was taken yesterday -- 22 days from my surgery date on September 28.

I cried. I wasn't ready to see that. I think the surgery is going to be so much easier because of doing all of this work on the front end.

Needless to say, I am excited about the second half of this journey, and I wanted to share the pictures because I am really proud of the efforts of the last half-a-year.

Best to all!

Well done that is awesome! I had to do the 6 month nutritional program also (I have lost 50lbs to date) so I'm kind of on a similar journey to you. I am getting my surgery on the 21st is September. Excited & nervous! Goodluck with the next part :)

      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.
