Ever Catch Yourself Looking At Yourself...



Recommended Posts

In the storefront windows... Sometimes I walk by and I glance over and I catch myself doing a double take. Not sure that I am looking at myself or not. Have to make sure not to stare to long cause that would be embarrising. :lol:

yes there are times when ive glanced at myself and not reconized myself for all the wrong reasons (too much weight!) so Its nice lately to look in the mirror and like what I see. its a slow journey but will be oh-so-worth-it when i get to goal. Good luck to all !

Definitely. And photographs! I just received a new bunch of pix from my son's wedding last week and am still amazed at how I look! Makes it that much easier to keep focussed after passing such a big goal event. I was worried that I would fall off the wagon after the wedding because it was something I was working towards but it's still onwards and downwards to my next goal.

Ahhh, glad im not the only one :P One year ago, I would have avoided looking because I couldnt believe that was me, now I still cant believe its me, but for a totally different reason :D Its the little things that keep us going, right?

      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.
