Happy Six Month Sleeviversary!!



Recommended Posts

Happy six months everyone! I posted this in another category...but way more fitting here.........First month was getting used to everything...mainly eating. Months 2-5 were scattered! Eating this! Trying that! No, that didn't work! Oh, that works! Body seemed like it was resisting change....weight loss was slow. Summertime was here and schedule was not consistent! Finally! The last three weeks I have developed a great schedule that works for me and am down 10 more lbs! Total weight lost since initial consult is 61 lbs. Am now jogging 4 miles a day 3x's a week. Plus 2 days endurance exercising. I found foods that are perfect for me....Life is good! No...it is GREAT!! 46 more to get to goal.

You are doing great!!! Happy six month to you too!

It's funny, I really haven't experimented too much yet. Just a couple things.. but for the most part everything has remained the same for the last 3-4 months for me! Lol! I did try fresh bread for the first time a few days ago.. it's heavy and uncomfortable. Blah...

Wine tastes good, but man, it hits HARD! Stumbling after 1 glass!

I think we've come close to the end of "the easy part". I suspect it's all uphill from here on out!

bread is not my friend either. Feels like a brick. cheese is in my past life as well as I get really nauseous when I eat even just a tiny bit! Strange how things I didn't like before, i now love and things I loved, eh can do without them. Other than that, I'm thinking it is getting easier for me. I know my boundaries and know what I have to do to keep losing and feeling good. Just had my six month checkup and labs are perfect. All in the zone and focusing here!

      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.
