Good morning all! My surgery was 6/7/17. I have lost a total of 56 lbs! 260 to 204! I'm so not used to my new me!

I find it interesting how ppl respond differently to me. One thing being that I'm now an option instead of a mother figure. It's weird.

Hi, everyone, sleeved on 6/26/17. I count all the weight I have lost since my surgical consult, so down from 357 to 272 and very happy with it. I had a 3 week stall at 300lbs, talked to my NUT and started tracking everything, and increased calories to at least 600 per day and came out of the stall. I now weigh or measure everything I put in my mouth, and per her advice shoot for between 600-700 calories per day, no more than 50 gm carbs, no more than 30 gm fat and between 60-70 gm Protein per day. I don't let myself weigh every day because it fluctuates or stalls for 2 or 3 days at a time and then drops.....that drives me crazy, so only once a week for me. I am losing between 2.5-3.5lbs per week, and am very happy.

Hi, how are you? Glad to see someone posting on here. I am a little nervous about the holidays, it will be the first time in my life I won't be using food to comfort, soothe or treat myself thru the holidays. I keep telling myself to just take it one day at a time and stick to the program--I bought halloween candy I don't like to give out to the kids, and I still am not really hungry, but I don't know how long that will last.

      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.
