Starting weight



Recommended Posts

Starting my journey tomorrow my 2 week liquid diet starts. Wondering what your starting weight is considered?? Is it your weight on surgery date (bypass 10/24 for me) or is it when you start the liquid diet??

The day you weighed the most. Without surgery you will return to it.

​I use my weight from the first appointment with the weight loss surgeon.

Everyone decides which weight they want to use.

I, too, use the weight of my first appointment as my Highest. Then my surgery weight is day of surgery . Good luck on your liquid phase , ladies! It truly is the most challenging part in the journey, in my opinion . When I had faltering moments , I reached out to others who have been through it. We are all here for you !

My date is also 10/25. I started my liquid diet on Monday 10/10. How are you doing with it? Last night was hard for me. I'm not diabetic but my sugar dropped and I had to eat a little something.

I am doing good. I am down 9 lbs since my preop check up (10/4). So I am excited. I do miss eating. Having caffeine and sugar withdrawal headaches I think but they are going to go away. Drinking my food is becoming routine so that's good I guess.

      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.
