I'm three months out this past week!

It just dawned on me that...

  1. I'm down almost two shirt sizes
  2. My neck is down 3 inches
  3. My waist size is down 8 inches.

Holy buckets... and at my NUT appointment she told me that I may be losing a bit fast.

Just wanted to crow a bit. :)

hey dude

you MEN!!!!

you lose weight faster than women!! :rolleyes: :blink:

that's a fact Jack!!

your starting weight was a higher #than many

the more you have to lose initially

the weight usually comes off quicker to start with

eventually it will slow down a bit

was some of that weight lost pre-op?

all of it since gastric bypass?

what was NUT's explanation concerning quick weight loss

why was she concerned?

(i gotta admit 129 lbs is a lot in 3 months)

keep up the good work while i see "less and less" of you!!

kathy

congrats

@@proudgrammy some of that weight loss was preop. About half of it...

The NUT was a bit concerned that I am losing a bit more than 1-2 lbs a week. I've been averaging 3-4. She really didn't get into why other than that's what you're supposed to do.

And you're right, we men do lose weight quickly… for me the challenge will be keeping it off. I'm also pretty good at gaining weight too

I love your posts BTW, always so positive.

Congratulations!

My surgeon advises that on average I should be losing about 4lbs a week with the sleeve. So, I think it's great.

      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.
