8 weeks 8 inches



Recommended Posts

So excited to be 8 weeks out from surgery and 8 inches are gone from my belly. I’m in size 14 pants. Started at 24. And in a large shirt. Started at 3x. I’m so blessed to have made these changes in my life.

I am super envious! I started at a 26 pant, 4x shirt, and now I am probably a 1x shirt and I don't know what size pants. My stomach is not going down, which is super frustrating. I bought new pants in an 18 and they were too small. I have lost 74lbs though, mostly from my extremities.

I'm super envious as well! I'm almost 8 weeks, down 32 lbs and wearing the same clothes! Your results are great, congratulations!

      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.
