Surgery Set for October 17th and Vlogging My Journey on YouTube



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone. I'm a 38 male from Michigan who started my program back in March. In January I was 581lbs, Today I'm 503lbs and my goal is to have lost 100lbs when I go in for surgery on the 17th of October.

with the help of my surgeon, we've both decided that Gastric Bypass would be my best option. I've been obese my whole life since the age of 6. It's the one thing I've not been able to beat but I'm sure working on it.

If anyone is interested, I would love the support of subbing to my YouTube Channel. If you sub, please leave a comment on here so that I can personally thank you. I look forward to interacting with you all and wish you all much success in your own journeys.

Subscribed! I'm a YouTube junkie (Game Grumps and Markiplier have to be my faves), so I'm always looking to watch and support more channels :) Another guy that I subscribed to awhile ago is ObesetoBeast. I wasn't there for his journey, but he's pretty inspirational and not afraid to tackle stuff like how he deals with his excess skin, etc.

I'll be watching your progress and rooting you on!

      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.
