Half way point. 151lbs down in 133 days.



Recommended Posts

I am 390 right now and getting sleeved March 7th. I'm scared that my expectations of losing a lot of weight in a short time frae is unrealistic. This gives me hope. I want to be off my insulin and oral meds ASAP. That's amazing. What have you done to lose that amount in 4 months? Any tips would be awesome

Honestly, I was really worried about that also, but it just melted off at first. I didn't weight myself for a month cause I was so afraid that I wasn't loosing and then I did and I was 50lbs down in a month and was like holy crap. My weight loss is slowing now as I'm starting to eat more of what I should be eating, I'm finally able to get my Protein in, mainly because my hair loss is starting to get worse than it was before with just PCOS.

I was lucky enough to make it to 445 lbs with out any other medical issues besides PCOS which I had at 13 and 115 lbs. I quit all sugar before surgery and the first 2 weeks post op. I actually had to add it back into my diet because my sugar levels were boarder line hypoglycemic. I've heard within the first month people going off insulin. Good luck with your surgery!!!

      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.
