Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Just wanted to update that I am 4 days post op and 7 lbs down. I was sleeved on 12/5 and it has been very little discomfort. My belly is sore of course. I have one incision site that is very sore. I have a total of 6 lap sites though. I don't have nausea really though, knock on wood. Day of surgery I felt really sick but I'm okay now. I am so grateful to have had this surgery. I know this is going to change my life. I challenge the dec groupers to post monthly photos so that we can encourage each other and see each other's weight loss.

Highest weight- 242 lbs

Surgery weight 12/5/16 -219 lbs

Current weight- 212 lbs

Goal weight- 150 lbs

Yes ma'am I am back in sweet home Alabama. I feel better today just when I drink it's a little uncomfortable but my surgeon said that's expected for a week or two because there is so much swelling in my belly. So I'm grinning and bearing right now

      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.
