liveaboard15 1,293 Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Weighed myself last night after a shower. 298lb. When i started the preop diet i was at 317. Exciting. I dont weigh myself everyday. I do it like every two weeks or longer. scales will drive people mad if they weigh themselves everyday. So far recovery has been blah... sleeping is the hardest because i cant sleep in my own bed, Its painful and i cant get up on my own, Recliner started to hurt my back after 2 days. so been going from chair to chair couch to couch. One good thing is the hunger is pretty much gone for now. I do not feel hungry at all through out the day. I have alarms set to make sure i am getting in the Protein and Water but thats proven to be difficult to get it all in but i do my best.

kcuster83 1,504 Posted April 22, 2022 Just do the best you can. My team says you should be hitting goals by 2 weeks. I just kept track and made sure I beat yesterdays goal even my 1g or 1oz every day until all a sudden I was hitting my goals. You definitely have to drink constantly at first to hit it though. Luckily I had bought a new couch (with recliners) and it came in the weekend before I had surgery so I had a new comfy recliner to sleep on for a few days. Took me about a week to be able to lay flat and then I laid on my side with a pillow holding my belly up so it didn't "pull" to make it more comfortable. After a few days of that I was sleeping normal but toss and turned a lot like I couldn't stay in the same position too long. 4 weeks out, I am good with sleep now probably since week 3. It sucks in the beginning, but it really does get better quick. Good luck and keep it up. 2 liveaboard15 and I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summerseeker 2,247 Posted April 22, 2022 Doesn't it feel good to be a '200 rather than a 300.' I did a happy dance as soon as I saw that. Drinking so much liquids early on seems like a mountain you will never climb but eventually you will get there. Its the same with the Protein but you are early on. I had to sleep sat up for 3 weeks but the day finally came when I could lie flat. Pre op I would go to the loo at least 3 times in the night, now its once. A bonus I never thought of. Take care of yourself and just do the best you can. 4 I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡, kcuster83, liveaboard15 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
