1 month post op and LOVING IT



Recommended Posts

Well, 1 month officially post surgery and I have lost 22 pounds... I am so happy. I haven't even gotten a fill yet so this is just amazing to me. I have never been "hungry" yet... Mental hunger yeah, but starving for lack of food? Nope. I still go out to all the places I used to go out to for dinner but I am eating about 1/2 of what I used to eat. After the fill I am sure it will be less than that... wow!!!!

I have so much energy... I play tennis 3 hours at a time 2-3 times a week, I walk every night, and I went rock climbing yesterday!! 5 hours of climbing... and I just feel great!!!!

I measured myself and wow since the week before surgery to now?

Date....Weight....Neck...Arm...Forearm...Thigh...Calf....Waist.....Stomach

9/8.......285.........16.....16.75....11.5......32.5...18.75...46.75.......57.5

10/14....263.........15.......15.......11........29.......17.5.....40...........53

good for you girl -

don't let the typical slow down discourage you - just remember the key element here is lifestyle change and exercise to keep the momentum going.

Isn't it great to have hope.

Congrats on the super weight loss. That's really great, but somehow I'm not surprised considering your activity level. Wow, I am really impressed and encouraged at how much you do. I think it's wonderful and believe me, it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. I also love that you obviously enjoy your activities, it's a good reminder to all of us, that exercise can be fun!!! Keep up the good work, you're of to a great start!!!!

      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.
