Nsv At Grocery Store



Recommended Posts

My husband calls me from work yesterday and says, "I thought I would tell you that Bill ( husband's best friend) was at the grocery store the other day and he thinks he saw you wanted to say hi, but wasn't sure it was you...how much weight has she lost? She was unrecognizable." Ok it has been one year since he has seen me. Made my day and I guess I'm realizing that I have changed my body! ( his sister is heavy he is kind about the weight issues)

That's wonderful! How did you feel? You must know by the amout of weight you lost that you have changed. Enjoy that feeling. Was your husband supportive? If so, thats what matters. Kudos! :D

Looking forward to those compliments!!!

WOW good for you isn't it true being thin taste better then any food you ever ate..... Sounds like you have a husband who is very proud of you . I would imagine he has seen your struggles and just wants to pass on the compliments.

It sounds like you haven't quite caught up with your new look. I still see the fat lady in my head and never know what size to bring in the dressing room with me when I shop. I am not sure if that ever goes away.

My therapist told me one time to softly put that fat lady suit away it had served it's purpose for whatever reason I needed it and now just dance in my new body and so I invite you to enjoy the dance you wrote the new song and you deserve it.

You know it felt wonderful and he is proud of me but told me he loves me no matter what size...but about that fat lady suit, I do still see fat me in the mirror. Should I go to see a psychiatrist? I know I'm smaller (large 12) but I still see a 24 size. Ill even shop in larger section first and then realize I'm not there. I'm still trying to spot exercise. I'm learning to love myself again and am no longer a quantity eater...thank you band!!!!

      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.
