Anyone 370 lbs or more?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on Feb 10, 2017 weighing 372. Today I weigh 338.

I didn't have a preop diet, but I highly recommend it. I had a lot of head hunger, but pretty much have solved it.

SW 372 GW 260

When I made the decision to have the surgery I weighed 368. On the day of surgery I weighed 332. Now, almost 3 months out I weigh 287.4. So I've only lost 44.6 pounds since surgery. I was expecting a greater weight loss since I had such a high BMI (general rule of thumb, the more you weigh when you start the faster you lose... but doesn't take into account things like thyroid) but oh well... such is life.

My first visit I was 687 lbs. By my surgery date 12/28/15 I was 643 and now just over 14 months after surgery I'm down to 381. It's been a hard year having 2 surgeries (VSG and then a panniculectomy this past October) but it has totally changed my life...and given me my life back. Still plenty to go but I feel tremendous....as hard as this past year has been I'd do it again in a heartbeat with no hesitation for all I've gotten back in return.

Started at around 640. I got myself down to around 510 and then wet into the whole insurance process for surgery. Got down to 470 for the surgery (1-23-17). As of today, 424.

Date started- 404
Current 343
Surgery in Thursday so we'll see. I'm think 340 the way things are going.

I started eating like a post op early on and it was hard at first but if you push through it is possible. Feel like I'm in a much better place mentally and physically for surgery now. My personal goal weight is around 190. So 150 to go post op.

      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.
