Making Progress



Recommended Posts

Well its been since 8/12/03 and I have dropped 13 lbs with my main problem being sticking to a diet correctly. I still eat way less but can eat anything I've tried so far. The weights coming off though so I guess all goes well for now. Scars healing nicely also.

Got lots of info here and will answer questions as I learn answers myself......:rolleyes:

Awesome, Bobby! Doesn't it feel good to see the pounds go!:rolleyes:

Speaking of scars, I am using a silicone gel and it seems to reapir the scars. (Started using it about 3 weeks after the bandages came off.) I was using Vitamin E but because of varying theories I checked out the silicone.

What about everyone else? What are you using on your scars if anything?

Great job, Bobby!! Once you get your first fill, you'll notice a difference in your eating. Try your best to stick to your surgeon's recommended diet til then. :-)

      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.
