4th month of Supervised Dieting!



Recommended Posts

I just had my NUT visit for my 4th month of supervised dieting and I am so proud of myself. I have lost 30 lbs! I was worried about this month because I got 2 heart stents on August 28th and they wanted me to do more of a cardiac diet which adds more fruits and vegetables and even with the addition of more fruit I still lost weight.

At this point I don't have to worry about going under the BMI requirement (after all I am built like a fire plug) but these small victories keep me going. I am hoping to have my surgery in December. Before Christmas if necessary but preferably the week following.

Wish me luck!

Built like a fire plug. that made me smile.Congrats on the weight loss. We dont have to do the supervised diet here in northern california. I might go crazy. we already have to jump through so many hoops! Good luck to you. sounds like you are doing great. I have my surgery scheduled for Oct 19th - have been trying to get it done for over 4 months.

all the best.

The only suggestion I have is to stick to the carb requirements you get. They want me to eat 30 grams of carbs which is tough. I usually end up between 30 and 45 which is WAY less than I use to eat. Eat meats, eggs,cheeses and low sugar veggies. I did give up cokes and ice cream totally. But I am determined to be less fat in my future.

Good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
