I'm down 130 lbs!



Recommended Posts

I got my sleeve done 9/20/16 and weighted in my highest weight at 445. I'm now 315. In less than 6 months I've lost another human being. It's insane. post-299244-14832004598078_thumb.jpg

Thanks every one!!! I can't believe I've dropped so much so fast. I kinda felt like I wasn't loosing so I didn't weigh myself at all this month. And I was just so surprised by how much was lost.

I knew I was loosing weight by the scale but I really didn't realize how much it really looked like until I put these two photos together. It made me really feel like all this crap I went through and the hard work was worth it. I stopped getting on the scale every day and it honestly helped me stop thinking about how much weight I was loosing and made it more about making better decisions. I'm going to stick with monthly weigh ins so I'm not so preoccupied with the numbers.

Good job.

That is awesome.

My wife is planning on getting sleeved in May and then mine is on track for August.

I am so scared, it is stressing me out big time.

Good for you. Did you ever get nauseous or sick in the beginning??

Yes, constantly. I also had a complication with my gallbladder. I had it removed exactly 4 weeks after my sleeve surgery. After that I was drinking and had little to no sick feeling. I also realized most of my nauseousness was actually acid reflux. It's gotten a lot better. After about 3 months post op I had no issues.

      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.
