Today I *SAW* the changes



Recommended Posts

I was at the gym today and after changing into my regular clothes i was drying my hair - in front of these HUGE mirrors which i despise,, but I caught a side ways glance at myself and actually saw for the first time the changes my body is doing,, smaller - not a lot - im only down 36 lbs... but i saw that it was working and that is a huge HUGE thing for me.

Congrats! It's an amazing feeling isn't it. For me it was when I was walking downtown and caught a reflection of myself in the buildings! I stopped in my tracks and said...that's ME! I am sure the people around me thought I was nuts, but I was amazed and so very happy!

Yay! Good job!

It's a great feeling to see muscles & definition in places I've never seen before. And just the overall shrinking of my silhouette...I love it!

Congrats! I don't "see" mine yet but everyone tells me it's there. Maybe I should stop looking in half mirrors and find a while one!!!!

      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.
