Almost 3 months post sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am almost at my 3 month mark post surgery! It has been the best decision I ever made! I think it would be nice to have someone be on the journey with me and have a support system! Though I have been doing the diet even afterwards, temptation is still all around us! I had my surgery on November 14th! I still get weak even when I'm strong! I am from Pittsburgh pa and I have a 5 year old daughter who is a big inspiration and ho early by biggest supporter:) if you feel we would be good support for each other then let's do this lol

It went great! No complications except for trapped gas for a couple of days. It's been the best decision of my life. I feel like a different person. I love to be on the go. I have less fear about social situations. I'm more daring which I haven't yet decided if that is a pro or con.

I walk about 5-7 miles per day, but I am looking to step up the activity in a different direction in a major way. What type of exercise do you prefer?

That's amazing! I also had trapped gas for a couple days. I go to the gym 5 days a week! I do 2 days of a 30 minute circuit class and the other three I take one day for legs one for arms and one for abs. I go through planet fitness and started with a trainer class 2 days which is the circuit class! What about you ?

Just walking right now. I work full time and have a 2 hour commute both ways, so I just try to fit in as much walking as I can while I'm at work.

It is hard I didn't want to take everything away from my 5 year old but she will choose healthy food over bad but I do let her get some things and it has gotten easier for me to not want it

Motivation is what got you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

      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.
