In the "100" club again! 105 days Post Op Update



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it, but then again, I can! All this hard work and discipline is paying off.

My first milestone was to fit into Victoria's Secret Bra sizes again (the sizes you can actually buy IN store and not online...jerks lol). CHECK!

My second was to get under 200 lbs before my vacation to Ireland. We're leaving on Thursday and wouldn't you know it...199 on the dot! CHECK!

I started my journey at 299 my first surgeon visit, 284 my last appointment before surgery, then 264 day of surgery (after 2 week liquid diet) and now currently 199.

I haven't been under 200 lbs in over 10 years. I feel like my mind has to play catch up with my body, I'm losing and everyone sees it, but I don't see it as much. Nothing I can't talk with my therapist about.

Skin is sagging, but not too ad. My arms are totally fine, it's mostly my thighs, tummy and breasts that are looking a tad droopy these days, but it's all good.

I've been losing more hair lately, don't know if it will get worse before it gets better....I guess time will tell.

In any case, I'm thrilled about my vacation and I'm thrilled to be under 200 lbs!

I hope everyone else is doing fantastically and feeling happy and healthy ❤️

      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.
