3 month post op



Recommended Posts

I saw my surgeon today for my 3 month check up. I'm down 92lbs since starting my journey 8 months ago. He says I'm doing great but I kinda expected to be over 100 lbs by now. I'll just keep doing what he says and he assures me I will get there. Patience!! (what's that) LOL I also had a recent non-scale victory... bought 2 pairs of regular knee high boots and they zipped! Woohoo.

You are doing great. Everybody has a different journey and it's not wise to compare ourselves with anyone else. There are so many different factors involved. Don,t rush it, enjoy the new you in every stage. 100 pounds is a huge milestone that you will smash through soon.

it think it was about a year before I was 100 lbs down, and our stats are about the same. You'll get there. I just checked where i was at eight months out - down 94.4 lbs. so yea....our stats are pretty much the same! You'll probably hit the 100 lb mark in another month or two. Just keep at it!

      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.
