Expectations during liq pre op diet???
dange25 replied to attitudefree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found quiting the pepsi max gave me a week and a half of catastrophic headaches...glad i gave that up before taking on the battle of giving up most food too. im now at the end of day 3 and i havent had a headache, which i think is a TOTAL mirical!!! as far as feeling tired, i havent had any of that so far. been drinking bucket loads of Water and eating extremely low carb foods (docs orders) if anything im feeling quiet well and actually sleeping way better. I have been prone to headache, not so many migrain (enough to know i dont want any more) all my life....so far...so good. :wink1: -

Tomozo is the dayyyy my mum bought over a few bottles of champagne, we had a really nice dinner and desert (that i normally wouldnt have). lol i feel like it was the last supper!!! i feel relaxed after being a little piggie today but feel totally releived that today **was** the last piggie day for me!!! i let myself induldge a little, all while making my diet jellys and sorting through my veggies *some of which i have never eaten before* It seems i am one of the lucky ones that is actually alowed to eat on the pre op diet. up to 5 cups a day of certain vegies and half a cup a day of certain fruit. dont forget the stocks and flavour jelly/jello. herbs spices to change the taste for bit of fun. 3 optifast shakes a day too.... mellow now from the few glasses of celebration i shared with my mum and hubby (and the few mouthfuls of sprayed mashed vegies with my beautiful 9mth old) so it was a great way to close this chapter of my life. feel like im ready to move on as i have made such a day of it, truely celebrating and saying goodbye to my old habbits.:001_rolleyes:

I want to be able to go the movies and not have to stress myself silly that someone is going to sit next to me so i have to hold my arms crossed the whole movie. thank god im not traveling anymore cause that was a pain too. 20 hours squishing myself into a small seat and cramping my arms to not make my neighbour uncomfortable because of my fat! that would be nice. pffft!!!! would also love to go through the $5 bargin tables at normal size peoples shops. buy something because i could!! never done that before. swimmers dont really worry me that much. heres one for you girls.... not have to pay $90 for a bra!!! I cant buy off the shelf... i have to go into a store in the city called big girls dont cry anymore.... all underwear for the larger girl...with the larger price tag of cource! -
Its ok....just make sure nobody sees you eat it and its free.... oh and the Cookies...make sure they are broken cause you know...they dont count either!!!:eek:

have you looked at some of your old pics? if you lost 50kgs give or take a few with conversion, you should be rollin in the joy of this new found ability to... wear a bikini.... take yourself back 2 years, would you even make a pic of yourself in a bikini???? i bet not.
sooo if you have 10k to burn, go on a trip overseas....like china, walk/climb the great wall, **because you can** 3 for the price of one.... a great holiday, you get a chance to be proud of yourself for the hike and even find you have toned while doing so!!!
you look great!! be proud of what you have achieved, and take a full body pic to get the perspective right on this pic. adding your head and feet to this pic and turning the lense lenghtways WILL put it back into a perspective that doesnt just focus on the parts that you are **worried** about. perosnalise this pic to be YOU. not just the parts you think are (quote) "flabby"
congrats J.

okies Jachut! I have to say how wonderful you look. Hell chick... im **prayin' to gods** that i can look that damn "flabby"!!! hell that would be a privlidge...soooo in translation, your looking out of this world, and if i were you i would be enjoying your achievement. stand up and rejoyce. Australian beaches are where you should be (not just yet tho with the damn cold) ohhh what the hell....if i was in a body like yours i would be out there anyway lolol freezing my patooties off no doubt!

Headache & Migrain post op
dange25 replied to dange25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks for the heads up. i will be sure to mention it. i have tryed to keep my hydration under control over the last few weeks since giving up the pepsi max. even today i was struck down and i have been drinking well. guess im just a bit scared of having headaches and not being able to guzzle Water down till it eases. i do carry water with me everywhere i go now (new habbit) and am now thinking it may actually be neck issues!!! might look into that before surgury!!! -
I have suffered headache and migrain all my life and am a little worried about the posibility of exposing myself to crippling pain if i cant get the fluids in. I drink 3-4 Litres a day to try and keep hydrated. I'm a little confused about Fluid intake. Is it only in the first few weeks that you can only take small sips, but after that you can drink much more??? is everyone different in here with the amounts they can drink. Has anyone else had any of these kinds of problems pre and post op? food Water and sleep always catch me out. thanks in adv.

Headache & Migrain post op
dange25 replied to dange25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i read that about getting off caffeine here a few weeks ago...i think it was even you talking about it...lol took the good advice (where ever it came from) and kicked the pepsi max. i had headaches for 2 weeks straight! i knew it was the right thing to do i have been trying to kick many bad habbits, and also indulging in a few to **say goodbye** to them also. Hell....glad i dont drink coffee!!!! -
I loved the brain training ideas. *thin pic v's sweet* all written on the cards and placed around the house. is there any other ideas like that in this site? funny i use little quirkie things like this to save money, but i have never thought of doing it for my weight!!!! ohhh except once...I kept writting on my hand no...or stoppppp but it didnt work!!! grrr it was ment to be a reminder when i was putting food to my mouth. the ink would wear of or smudge and just irritate me! tattoo maybe!!!! little piggy on my hand!!!
