I figured out my ultimate WLS goal



Recommended Posts

I realized this morning that I am not shooting for a specific number on the scale or a specific size clothing. I want energy and mobility. I just want to be able to get up on the weekend and have plenty of energy to accomplish all the chores I want and need to, and have energy and the Fluid and graceful mobility to play and run around in this world experiencing what I want to experience. I want energy and mobility, and everything else that is positive that comes out of this, will just be nice extras.

I'm right along beside you! I want to add that I don't want to sleep for hours because I'm pooped from doing things...I want to play with my kids and not be winded, sore or achy...not having to take pain meds would be a great addition too!

In my opinion, you have the best mind set for success! If you set a number of any type and have it in your mind that is the only way to succeed, you may be sorely disappointed in yourself. Even if you are doing great feeling better! Good luck!!

What a great attitude! Everyone should feel this way, after all, what do we want to lose the weight for - to get around better and feel more healthy! You eloquently put this into words, I would say you are well on your way towards success!

Thanks for sharing and good luck!! :rolleyes:

      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.
