Three days post-surgery, the journey so far



Recommended Posts

According to my entry in myfitnesspal, it's listed as "22 oz (56g), oven roasted turkey breast portion", and I added some low-fat mayo to it. It wasn't too bad actually.

Hey sorry I haven't posted in so long, didn't realize it's been over a month, a LOT has happened, I think I may have posted in another thread about it, but I should keep up with the updates here too!

First, I made it to ONEderland! That was amazing. I've been fluctuating slightly between the 1's and 2's but that's fine, a little plateau isn't going to hurt me, and the last few days it's started going down again which is awesome.

Had a non-weight related life changing experience in May, I unexpectedly lost my job which was rough, and I was worried it would affect my weight loss but didn't even slow it down! My wife went looking for a job and found a great one with health benefits which was the most important thing we wanted, and I started my own business which is actually doing quite well. At the pace I'm at I may earn more this year than I would have at my old job so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

And a HUGE non-scale victory yesterday. I took my family to an amusement park for the first time since surgery, and I fit comfortably on every ride for the first time in a LONG time. That felt really great being able to ride with my kids and not worry about being embarrassed about squeezing in or needed some kind of extender or something.

I'm .6 (that's POINT 6) away from my initial arbitrary goal of 197, hopefully will hit it soon, and then on to my more extreme goal of 179, which is possible.

Hope everyone is doing well, I'll try not to stay away so long next time!!

Your doing outstanding. I'm literally .4 away from Onederland so I know the excitement you are feeling. I've been bouncing between 200.8 and 200.4 for 3 days.

Good luck! I bounced back up a few pounds today, not sure what happened, should even out tomorrow.

      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.
