3mo post op- 100lbs down, 100 more to lose



Recommended Posts

Today is my 3 month post op anniversary and ive hit 100 pounds down fron the start of this WL journey. I am halfway there and am struggling with the idea that I'm able to lose more weight. 100 is a LOT to lose, but I have been at this weight before (5 years ago) and was never able to get lower. So I'm posting progress pics to remind myself 2 things. 1) I've come a long way and 2) im not who I was...I will go further

You are doing great girl!! I started my journey of massive weight loss for a third time when I had my RYN (first time lost 70lbs with WW, second lost 70lbs with lap band). Both previous times I managed to get to about 205ish, never under 200. Two points on this for you:
1. When I was near this weight before my goal was 180-185 and so 200 was never enough. I could not be happy there. Both times it was a struggle to even get that low. So this time I said I would be happy at 200 if that is where my body wants to be.
2. With This surgery everything has been so much easier. When I got to 205 I knew I'd surpass it and I did.
At 197 I decided to have a lower body lift (that was 9 days ago). They took off 15lbs!! I'm now 190 and expect to loss more due to swelling. I will hit my goal and this time have a massive inventive to keep it off!

Good luck to you on the rest of your journey! You go this!!

      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.
