I Am Feeling So Good!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just want to shout from the roof tops how good I am feeling. I have 57 ugly pounds off since 5/16/12 and I feel great! I just finished up 6 weeks of traveling and training for my job. As a facilitator it is necessary for me to be on my feet to do my presentations. 6 months ago I could barely stand for 5 minutes without my feet and back hurting. I often sat in a tall chair behind the podium. I knew it was less than professional but I just couldn't stand. That burden is behind me now. I can stand and move so much more easily now. I know I have a long way to go but boy have I come a long way. So much more energy. I go to the doctor for my 3rd fill on 10/16. I feel very little restriction at this point and am hoping this next fill will do the trick. I know it may take several more fills to get to the green zone and I truly look forward to it. Right now though, I get great satisfaction from doing this basically on my own or I should say God and I are doing it together because without Him I can do nothing. Thanks for letting me share.

Added note: I reached my exercise goal of 150 minutes per week for 12 weeks in a row and then upped the goal to 165 minutes per week and have reached it for the past 3 weeks. Woot! Woot!

      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.
