November sleevers here



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

As November ends everyone here will have celebrated their first Surgiversary!

πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ πŸŽ‰ CONGRATS πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ πŸŽ‰

Does anyone want to participate in a mass reset? Set the tone for the new year, reinvigorate healthy habits and trigger some losses?

Want to start December 1?

I'm thinking we can progress through the post stages one or two days on each. But mainly the clearing out of junk from our diets again, just like when we prepping for surgery and serious about this.

Any thoughts

Ok, maybe some basics like:

Pantry/fridge cleaning day on the 29th,

grocery reboot shopping day the 30th,

first day of all liquids December 1st,

full liquids on the 2nd,

soft foods on the 3rd, etc

Thoughts? And some suggestions!

I met with my surgeon and he wants me to focus on getting back to 1200 calories a day or less. It turns out I gained a few lbs over the three months since my last weigh in. Time to reign it back in and get back to tracking.

Fantastic that you caught it early!

I had my year check-in this morning and my doctor was thrilled I have dropped my BMI from 40 to 28 since surgery. I'm still losing weight, very slowly, just a couple pounds a month. I'm still 20 pounds away from my goal weight -- which would be just what I need to be in the healthy BMI range. I told my doctor I've come to accept that I probably won't get there, but she said she wouldn't be surprised if I lose another 10 in the next six months, given that I'm exercising daily. So it's good to know that loss is still possible for us if we work at it. Congratulations to everyone on our sleeviversaries.

Are you able to be satietied (that's a word right?) on 1200 calories a day?

I'm eating like 3000-3500 a day at this point (which I'll totally admit is an extremely high number, and no none of it is from junk) but I'm also working out like an insane lunatic and trying to add on slabs of muscle.

Honestly since my surgery I feel like I'm hungry and I eat more often than I ever have in my life.

      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.
