Weekly Weigh-In: 1 Week Pre-Op

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to bring you this week’s weigh in. It’s only my second, but I’m already stoked at my progress!

I’ll do my weigh in and then talk a bit about my week:

Starting Weight (BMI): 237.2 (43.4)

Last Week’s Weight (BMI): 237.2 (43.4)

Current Weight (BMI): 228 (40.4)

Weight Loss this week: 9.2 lbs

Total Weight Loss: 9.2 lbs

I started my liquid protein diet last Monday, and with the exception of a couple of really healthy small meals, I stuck to all liquids.

The main problem was getting enough shakes down. I started the week trying to get my 5 shakes with 2 scoops of Bariatric Advantage in each. Dis.gust.ing. Especially the vanilla. I ended up only being able to drink a shake a day. Around Wednesday I decided to start doing one scoop of chocolate in a huge cup of skim milk three times a day and that worked out pretty well. I completely gave up on the vanilla powder, I would just open the bag and start to gag.

I also had some weird/disgusting side effects that I really don’t want to go into in detail.

In between shakes I drank about 20 ounces of water with some Crystal Light powder. Really no hunger at all to speak of.

Can you believe my surgery is ONE WEEK from today? If the surgery center doesn’t call today to tell me when I need to go in, I’m supposed to call them. I want to make sure everything is in order.

That’s pretty much all about this week. I’ll keep you updated!
