Hey Big Guy,Big Fella or Big Man



Recommended Posts

I hate the nicknames big guy dude fella whatever. I am really getting to the point where I feel that that is what I am judged by. I hate it. I have always been a big guy I'm 6 feet 320 I have my Dr. consult on 7/29 I really hope after I get banded and loose the weight the names will stop. They never used to bother me but lately I really can't stand it. I am tall and have broad shoulders. By no means do I think the band is going to get me skinny and lanky I just want to be the thinest me I can be and just be Mike.

Well, Mike, I can tell you that in my case, starting at those same stats, I've gone from "Hey Big Guy" and such to "Hey Skinny!" and similar. It's not exactly flattering either. But it hasn't worn completely thin (so to speak) as yet. I still smile and try to be nice, but it's the same few people who ALWAYS say it, and it's kind of annoying. I've thought of replying with things like "Hey Ugly B*tch" or "Hey Stupid Jerk" but that would be rude. LOL!

      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.
