Things I am not going miss



Recommended Posts

I thought I'd make myself a list of all the things I won't miss after I get this band and get myself looking good. :)

1. Having to stretch my shirts out once I put them on to make them more comfortable.

2. Not getting on a plane for fear that I will need an extender or worse yet have an airline employee tell me I need to buy 2 seats. :P

3. Buying something off the rack and assume it fits, then getting home and finding out its too tight!

4. Feeling self conscious of people looking at my grocery cart when shopping.

5. Having men look the other way, or not looking at me in the eye for fear that they will somehow unknowingly attract the fat girl. Sorry dudes, I'm married, you can look me in the eye now!

People are much friendler to me now and look me in the eye. Shouldn't happen but it does.

It's sad that people are less friendly to the obese, I give everyone the same respect.

I will not miss the snidey comments about my back fat rolls. I will not miss the side rolls. I will not miss my thighs jiggling. I will not miss feeling hungry all the time.

      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.
