4.5 months update & pics



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I'm 4.5 months post-op sleeve and feel amazing. Some of the things that continue to amaze me lately are trying on clothes and having to double check the size...could that really be a 10?? Also doing things out all day and rarely feeling tired. What a gift! If only I had done this years ago!! I'm about 30 lbs from goal, and feel confident I'll get there sometime this summer. ;-)

Eating is getting a tiny bit easier. I can now eat 3 oz at a time without too much trouble. I am able to enjoy quite a variety of vegetables and salads now, which I had really missed the first 4 months. My diet is mainly meats and fish, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, yogurt and a variety of cheeses. I'm exercising about 3 times a week for one hour. Life is good!

Yay! You look great!!

We are in a similar spot. 10's are fitting me, too and I'm starting to fit into 8's. It's amazing and mind boggling. I, too, am thinking I'll be to goal sometime this summer. I wish it were sooner, but I'm just coming off a month long stall and my weight loss has slowed to an average of 5 pounds a month. I can't even complain, really. As long as it's leaving, I'm ok with it. :D

Same here! My weight loss is down to 5 lbs a month as well but I'm fine with that also. And like you, I just got off of a really long stall!! Congrats on your size 10s and soon to be 8s!!!!

You look amazing. This journey has been a blessing for me as well. I'm 4.5 monthes out too and the changes are sooo welcomed. Hw 350 sw 301 cw 235. Though I am in a stall, I feel amazing. Golfing, walking, playing basketball with grandson and dancing with grand dtr. Things I always said "I'm too tired" to do. Wish I would have done this sooner. No longer on meds for diabetes. Praise God. I go up and downstairs without holding railing or stopping to catch breath.
Can't imagine what I'm gonna feel like when I get in the 100s.
God bless and thanks for sharing.

      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.
