Silly Success Story....



Recommended Posts

recently, i have been able to wear (pants) comfortably again as i am down 8 sizes down since june

before they were so tight that if i ate or drank i felt as though my circulation would be cut off..

so today i am wearing a pair of gray cords

and i am sitting in my chair..comfortably..and i am not dying from them being too tight or thinking that when they come off i will have scars where the zipper and buttons go...

and in the past, the buttons were so tight i feared i may get arrested if they flew off and hit someone.

so that is my silly success story

thought i'd share

Carolina, I know you go through some difficult times, but DAMN you're funny!

But about your post, GOOD FOR YOU! I have a closet full of jeans that I intend to wear some day, but always wondered if my circulation would be cut of when I sit. I wear elastic now. But obviously one can wear regular pants! Thanks so much for sharing your exciting news, you inspire me.

But about that pink text, girl, I'm blind, I can barely read your post's! Imagine me squinting and raising my bifocals and getting closer to the computer when I read your awesome post's...too funny! Oh, and then you type, "down 3 sizes down since June." Ahhhh, I couldn't tell if it was an eight or a three! Girl, you makin me feel old!

You're so cool, I will always defend you if someone ever attacks you on here. I'm your Yankee post guardian! Love ya chickie!

That's not a silly success story.. that's a huge accomplishment.. a NSV (non-scale victory)!! That is one of those items on my bucket list of weight loss that I want to accomplish also! That's wonderful...enjoy every moment of fitting comfortably in those pants!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
