Three Weeks Out!



Recommended Posts

I cannot believe how fast this process has been!! I actually had to look at the calendar to see if it had really been THREE weeks??!! I am at a 'plateau', but start solids tomorrow and am hoping for continued success...How are my other late January 09's doing?? Did your weight start dropping again after beginning solids?? Check in and let us know how things are going and how you are dealing with this physical and emotional journey!! :tt2:

I am six weeks out and yes it went by very quick. I start regular foods this weekend :tt2: Part of me is excited and the other part is scared. I finally can have a salad too which I have been craving. I have also been released at the gym so I have been there this week. I lost another two pounds this week and I have good restriction without a fill so I am happy about that. Next week when I see my surgeon will tell me how I did with my weight loss and if I will have a fill so far he said I am okay without one.

I am six week out now. Yes, you will still lose little after you are on solids but it will be slow for some. I lost about 30 lbs so far. I had my first fill tonight and no problems. I also hit a pleatu but this fill should (according to the doctor) move the scale again. At the first through the three week I would eat about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal. Then for the following weeks it went up to 1 to 2 cups per meal. I knew I needed a fill. Also Kristilaw I gotta ask you are you keeping a jounral with the count of Proteins, Carbs, Cals and Fats. I was told to watch them. When I did the scale did move two lbs. That help the pleatu. Oh yea, don't forget to excerise and keep changing it around. This helps the body guessing.

      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.
