I month anniversary



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much for posting this. It is really inspiring. I'm eagerly awaiting my surgery on December 19th and since my surgeon wants me to lose 16 more pounds before surgery - was 376 now 339 and have to be 323, I'm starving but as a self pay with 30K already spent trying to fulfill requirements, I can't stop now. So...I've been looking for inspiration. You were beautiful in both, but I'm sure feel so much better. Thanks again and good luck!

If you just keep following the rule and eat well and exercise, things will work themselves out.

My Dr told me if you are where you are a stall not loosing weight, the only thing to jump start it back is sprints. He said there will be plateaus when u don't loose however you will loose. I have lost 100 in 5 months and there were times I stalled. I'm having a hard time eating I get real nauseous. Day by day..... Goof luck hun

Great job! I am also a little over 1 month post op. How much have you lost since surgery? I feel like I am going much slower than everyone else :(

I know it's really hard to do but try not to compare your weight loss journey with any one else's. Everyone has different bodies, metabolisms, and coexisting medical issues. Also age, sex, diet, and activity level all affect the numbers you see on the scale.

I also sometimes feel like I haven't lost as much as I should have since surgery because I had so many complications. When I see people who weigh way less than me losing a whole ton in the first month when I didn't lose that much it's hard not to get down on myself.

I just have to remind myself that I have lost a large amount of weight since surgery and maybe it's not as fast as other people but I also have longer to go.

Keep your head up and try and keep some blinders on. This is your journey, don't feel you have to compete with anyone else. That will only set yourself up for failure, I know, it's happened to me in the past.

      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.
