Fighting to get under 200lbs! Its a fight!



Recommended Posts

Had gastric bypass on July 2017. So its been 8 months post op. I lost over 100lbs and I am weighing in at 209 lbs. Been a battle. Weight loss has slowed down and I feel my body is battling with me to stop me from getting under 200. My hunger somewhat increased but I just eat more fruit. I have cheated a few times with nut free gingerbread Cookies but really nothing that will develop into a habit. I still at times cannot satisfy my hunger because sometimes I dont like any food or this strange habit of food being disgusting to me or after I eat it. My appetite changes daily. Some days still hard to get in food so I still turn to my Premier Protein. I have been working out regularly and I love it and hate it! My goal is to get to my maintenance weight about 128lbs by the end of the year. Skin surgery is a reality that I am already researching. I pray that working out helps improves it but dont look like it will solve it. I think about a sarah lee turkey on whole wheat but not ready for it. Im losing about 1-2 lbs a week or sometimes the scale will go up 1-3lbs then I drop 2-3 lbs days later. I weigh myself once a week. Sometimes twice just to see how my body reacts and just to learn how it operates. I gained 2.4lbs and then dropped it last week. I always lose or stay the same but after eating those nut free gingerbread cookies I retained Water and it went up 2.4 lbs then dropped it. Had my gallbladder out December 2017 and life has been much better. No attacks! I am blessed to have had this surgery and to have Dr Joyce do my bypass & gallbladder. What a blessing. So 9 lbs to go to get to onederland. The battle goes on..

      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.
