My doctor can't believe it.............



Recommended Posts

I just thought that I would give everyone an update on my progress. I had my weigh in yesterday. My surgery was Nov. 10, 2005 and I have dropped 64lbs. I haven't even had a fill yet. As I said, my doctor couldn't believe it. Twice he asked me if I was feeling okay. Apparently I am above the average for weight loss. He said it is a bit abnormal.

My only explanation to him is that I am eating so much more healthy now than I ever have in my life. I am loving myself, excited to wake up every morning, I have a genuine smile on my face every day, and THANK GOD, those men out there who aren't afraid to say to you, damn girl you are looking GOOD. My confidence level has shot through the roof and I am so excited for the new me. More fitted clothing and shorter skirts, you bet

ya! Still camera shy though. My mother is dying to see me. The last time she saw me was when I was at my highest and that was 254lbs and that was in October.

Good Night All !!

Fantastic!

What are you eating? Are you exercising? Please share. I have only lost 15 lbs since Dec. 12, 2005. Albeit I haven't been drinking as much Water as I should and fighting my addiction to Starbuck's coffee. In fact I started drinking one cup a day about 3 wks ago and that's when the weght loss stalled.

At any rate GreatNews from you!

      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.
