5.5 Year Update, with pics!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone! It's crazy that it's been 5.5 years since I was sleeved. It was the best decision I ever made. But, it's still hard! The last few months I have put back on some pounds. I'm determined to get them off and keep them off! It seemed like it was right at about the 3 year mark, that weight started to come back on really easy, and it's been a struggle since. I hadn't been on the forum here forever, so I thought I would get back on for some inspiration. Below is a before pic, and I couple of recent pics.

Starting Weight: 320

Lowest Weight since: 195

Current Weight: 213

      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.
