One year today



Recommended Posts

Today was my day one year ago. It doesn't seem like that long. I have lost 90 lbs and have I still have 40 more that I wanna loose. I have learned so much in a year. The most important is Portion Control. Its amazing how much I would eat before and how little you truely need. I would do the surgery again in a heart beat. I still have a long road ahead of me it feels like to get where I really wanna be but I will get there. I have to remember my doctor told me that this is a life long journey not soemthing that you fix over night or in just a year. My goal is to hit one hundred lbs loss by the end of January and I can do it!!

DaCoop, I went to a Xmas brunch Sunday and of course, there was tons of food of all kinds. It was amazing how much food people piled on their plates, but the most amazing thing was the bite sizes. OMG, I saw forks full of food that would have stuck me up for two days I'm sure. I look at the size of each bite I take now and I'm amazed at how well I've adapted, but disappointed it took me so long to figure it out.LOL

Merry Christmas

Congrats!!! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Had my pre-op Friday and I was a little taken back that I was told I couldn't eat anything but Clear Liquids on Christmas Day!!! Were you told the same?? I was expecting nothing after midnight. I don't think I would of scheduled it for the day after Christmas if that was told to me at time of scheduling. I plan on calling the office on Monday because when I called Friday they were already closed. The nurse at pre surgical office couldn't tell me why so I'm a little confused. If you have any insight I'd appreciate it. Btw I can't wait to be where you are now. I bet you feel fantastic.

      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.
