Anyone having surgery in Oct ?



Recommended Posts

OK my friends..I had my psy eval today. It went awesome and we talked a lot about my concerns of being denied, expectations, etc. She honestly felt looking at my history, medical conditions, etc that I wouldn't be. She said she was very confident I would be ok but if not she would also help w/ my appeal based on my past medical, psy, etc. I am feeling so incredibly blessed right now!!! I am so grateful to have found such wonderful people both here and in my life in general!!

@@guyfrom315!! Thank you!! I have been w/ this office for a while so I feel confident for the most part. Amy who does Insurance seems to feel I may have trouble getting approved so we shall see. lol

I used to do lovonox shots from a blood clot a few years back so at least I have that 'skill' hahaha!!

@@Newnetty, How's the Optifast going? I'm starting Tuesday and a little nervous. How much weight have you lost. Same surgery date. Good luck

Hi Chell,

The optifast is ok. I'm having one shake, 1bar and one dessert a day + 140g chicken breast & 2 cups of non starch veggies + 3ltrs of Water (approx 750cal all up).

I've been on it for one week and lost 6kg which is awesome. Day 2 & 3 were pretty brutal in the detox stage (caffeine & sugar withdrawals) and had a wicked headache but I feel great now :) I have to lose approx 80kg all up - so long journey ahead for me! Good luck with your journey :)

So I received my injury chicken Protein and the unflavored ......... One you really do have to make sure it is at 140 degrees or lower or it gets weird ......... Also you have to use a lot ......... I just tried a heaping tablespoon to see how it was in chix Soup honestly I didn't notice it I do wonder if I would have used the entire scoop if that would have mattered?? Anyone using these items how do you like them

@@shamel811 I have tried the Unjury chicken flavored Protein & your right it does have to be about 140 to mix well. It taste ok to me but really weak. I haven't had the bypass yet so maybe it will taste different later. I like the chocolate splendor flavored Unjury. My favorite for Protein Drinks that I have been using along with Unjury is Premier energy shakes already made up. I buy them at Sams Club in a 12 pack. The chocolate, strawberry cream & vanilla are good. Not sure if you can drink them right after surgery but they have 30g of protein.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
