11 weeks post op today. Slow slow too slow



Recommended Posts

11 weeks post op today and only down 27.4 lbs since surgery day. What the what? When I started for insurance reasons in January on the pre diet it is a total of 64.10. What is the deal with me after surgery though? I do believe I don't get in enough Protein and Water still. Idk how to help that. I get so full/sick feeling.

You have lost 64 pounds!! wow. There is not way you are not going to loose wt! You have a baby stomach now. It will come. Seems like I hit a standstill about every 3 weeks. I am in one now as I am 9 weeks out. I did not have to loose wt prior to surgery and I am down 37.4 pounds. If you had not lost all that weight before hand, you would be down more! Keep up the good work! I am from MS! Had surgery 7/21/16. Our stats are probably close. I am down from 251.7 to 214.7 since surgery. Good luck

You really need to meet your Protein and Water goals. That will help with healing and weight loss. Congrats on your loss!

      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.
