Recommended Posts

for those of you with around that much to lose, how much did you lose before your first fill. i have found lots of posts about how much people have lost to begin with. i was just wanting to narrow it done to people with about the same as me. i have been told that the more you have to lose, the faster your loss is to begin with. thanks!

Hi I'm having surgery october 17th. I have about 60lbs to lose. My sister had it done about 1 year in the half ago. Her loss was around 60lbs and she lost her weight to me pretty fast like a lot of other people here on the post. Recently she found herself gaining up to 170llbs but decided she did not want to be that heavy after all, so she had a refill done..and I'd say in about 2 weeks she was from 170 to 153lbs. So good luck and I hope that helped.

I'm 18 days post-op, and I'm down 17 lbs in 5 weeks, 9 lbs since surgery. It doesn't seem like much compared to those who are on the liquid diets for weeks and weeks. My Doctor requires a sensible low-fat/low-carb diet for 2 weeks before surgery, and liquids for only 1 week after surgery, then on to mushies.

I'm getting my first fill at 21 days post-op. I'm hoping it's a small one because I'm happy with the amount I'm eating and with my weight loss thus far. I'm NEVER hungry, and I'm only managing to eat about 1,000 calories a day.

I have more like 80 lb to lose. I have lost about 7.5 since my surgery date of 08/31. I lost a few more on the preop diet.

      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.
