Reached my first milestone today!



Recommended Posts

I weighted 330 lbs on surgery day (October 2nd 2017), and after some complications with GERD, 3 months later I weight in 258, which was my weight in the first grade of junior high school 6 years ago AND my first milestone!
I also found out that i turn into an adrenaline monster when playing basketball which was the first time i played after 6 years!!!

I haven't been happier in my entire life and finally got the chance to get back into basketball after all this time, but this isn't the end and i have a long way to go still. And i am not going to stop. I just wanted to share my experience and progress, in an effort to encourage others as well if possible!

Lastly i want to thank everyone on this forum for helping and encouraging ME until now!

      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.
