Checking in 3 1/2 months out about 90 lbs down



Recommended Posts

It has been a long awesome journey...The surgery has already changed my life in so many ways...Last year I was 377 lbs for my first visit with my surgeon now I am about 250 I feel so different its amazing...I have energy, I feel healthy and my way of life is just different...I can walk up stairs without being winded i can walk around the mall and stores with no problem. I went from a 4-5x shirt to a XL...My pants went from 54 to 40-42...I want to lose another 50-60 lbs...It has slowed a low my weight lost but I am happy with my progress! If you are thinking of getting it and have doubts do not hesitate...food is not as satisfying as the feeling of a new life! It was all worth it...

The only down side would be the amount of skin I already have...I am not going to stress it I will deal with next summer...it still wouldn't change my decision...

I am going to post some pictures soon as well

      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.
