Will we lose our laughter?



Recommended Posts

Maybe a sense of humor sometimes goes along with higher weights just as a general love of life thing -- good natured, love to have a good time, love to eat. Maybe they go hand in hand rather than one causing or being direcly linked to the other. I have to say that I also know some pretty miserable heavy people, and some hysterical skinny people. I think that humor largely has to do with your outlook on life. Maybe it's no coincidence that folks here are humorous & happy alot. Remember, we are the ones who have chosen to DO something about our weight -- maybe THIS is the direct link to humour and out outlook on life..........I'm not sure I can be so philosophical before my coffee. I'll check in later after the caffeine has hit my noggin.............

Personally, I don't laugh as much since I've been banded.

I think it's because I was probably "high" on carbs whilst at my largest.

No, my laughter will only grow as my body shrinks. Laughter has always been my way of life and I will always be a former fat chick with all that sass and piazz that makes me unique - without that - I'd just be another skinny bimbo someday and who wants to be just a skinny bimbo?

      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.
