Just looking for a word of encouragement



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on Dec. 29. As of today, I'm 30 pounds down, and 70 pounds from my goal weight. My eating has done a 360 since surgery and I eat clean and healthy. I do not eat carbs, except for a piece of wheat toast in the morning with my Vitamins (and a Protein shake). Also, I walk 30 minutes 4 or 5 times a week. Just needing a word or two of wisdom and encouragement. I'm afraid that my weight loss is going to stop.

You're doing wonderfully! It's definitely a process.. I think I lost the most around 3-4 months. It felt like it dropped a pound a day for awhile. You're going to do so much better than you think you will.

I had 150 lbs of extra weight and so far I've lost 75% of that, 112 lbs total, and I'm on my 9th month. My doctor warned me I'd stop at 60% loss. I've had a lot of fear that I wouldn't get even that. It has slowed and even stalled for month 5 and again at month 8, but it continues to drop, slowly. I'm so pleased, I've lost more than I could have dreamed. You too will surpass your goals!

You don't have to take chewables just because you had WLS. I found them really gross to the point I didn't want to take Vitamins at all even thought I normally took a Multivitamin anyway. If I could swallow my other medicine post op, there was no reason not to take normal Multivitamins.

I take these

The soft gels are very easy to digest.

My first appointment to doctor was in January. He told me the sleeve bypass is my best option. I will be 63 yrs old when I have this surgery. Right now I weight 216 pounds ; I am 5'2". Just trying to get all the information I can. What to expect. What kind of Vitamins is best. Just everything I need to do to prepare and have good health and good outcome thru 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?

      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.
