Coming up on 4 Months Post-Op



Recommended Posts

Hello , my heaviest weight was On March 2017 of last year and was 280lbs. I was 255lbs on my surgery date which was Oct 5, 2017. I'm a gym maniac I work out 5 days a week for at least a hour mostly 90 mins... Today I'm at 220lbs. I feel like I haven't lost anything between months 3 and 4... I'm afraid to check the scale cause I don't wanna depress myself when I see I haven't lost much and worked so hard. I didn't eat as healthy as I should of during the 3rd month because I was traveling alot. I've been pretty disciplined the past 2 weeks. When was everybody's greatest weightloss ? My goal weight is 180/170 so I'm 40/50lbs from where I wanna be. I'm open too all suggestions.

Hi Buffalo Biil, I loved your Wild West show. Love that you're a gym maniac, you could branch out to mechanical bull riding next. Remember when you despair of weight loss, muscle weighs more than globby fat. I'm sure you're still firming up and losing inches. Well on your way to stud muffinhood. Keep up the good work.

Like mentioned above, I would check your inches lost. I'm still in my preop, and I haven't lost much, but I go to the gym a lot and I've noticed my clothes fitting better. I would say keep up with inches, you are probably getting toned and building muscle. Good luck!!

      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.
