Don't Loose Focus!!



Recommended Posts

I just want to say a few words!! I am having my surgery on June 5th 2012 but I have started my weight loss before then and I am doing okay!! I looked in the mirror this morning and can't imagine how I am going to look after I loose all this weight!! I can't wait to to face all those people who called me fat cow, and ugly, and nasty names and I began to loose focus of my goals. I realized after watching this christian show that I must not loose focus!! I can't let pride get to me once I am looking and feeling great!! I just wanted to post this topic because everyone on the forum seems to be hard on themselves once they gained a little weight back!! Its not the weight you gained back but how you humble yourself when you loose the weight! Once you get the focus off yourself and loose pride yes I said loose pride then you will begin to see what this weight loss is really about!! Once the people encourage you and people say how good you look and once you have mastered the weight loss or try then you will begin to loose yourself don't!! For once second don't loose focus on this mission because if you dont humble yourself and see the good in you now then you wont see it once the weight is off!! Learn to say I look good now but once I loose this weight then God will give me the strength to do bigger and better things!!!

Once you add the weight loss with the mind and know that with this better look and with the weight loss now God will give you the strength to master it!! But when your pride takes over and you begin to see the weight loss as a weapon then you will begin to get stuck and you might gain it back!!

You might gain all the weight back and more or be so nasty that no one can stand the better smaller you!! Learn to humble yourself and see this journey as doing Gods work and begin to be a better person with the weight loss.

I hope everyone gets my message and see that I am trying to get people to humble yourself so people can see who you are and loose the pride cause shame will find you and you will hate the person you become once the weight comes off!! Take the new look and the new you and never forget that God got you through this and now you can take this weight loss and better health to the next level because you let pride go and now you can humble yourself with the new you!! If you do you will begin to look better both inside and out!! And for the people who called me fat cow and for the husband who cheated and made me feel like crap daily, and for the people who made me feel bad because I was over weight and for all the guys who never wanted to date me because I was big and for all the people who made me feel ashamed because I loved food!! :( Don't worry because the new and improved humble me will soon come out and I will send all of you a thank you note for never letting me forget where I came from!!! i'm on my way and I plan to do all of Gods work with this new body and new mind!! Humble I will be!!! ;) !!

      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.
