Do you Notice



Recommended Posts

I lost a little over 20lbs so far :) ! I cannot tell at all because i see myself everyday my family says they can notice but i think they are just saying so lol! But I think im starting to believe them! Why? Because a lady who works in another department next to mine came up to me and was like " Wow! You look like you lost a lot of weight!" Woohoo feels good to hear someone you dont talk with normally notice! I still have a ways to go but if 20lbs+ makes a difference already I cannot wait to lose another 20lbs+!!!!

Yeah I agree pictures dont lie. Also make sure you keep up with your measurements. There maybe be times you cant tell and those measurements will be golden.

Taking measurements is an awesome way to track. I am waiting on insurance approval but started back at the gym 2 months ago.. had someone take my measurements Jan 23... had them taken again March 24 I had lost 2.5 in in my chest 1.5 in my waist and 2.25 in my hips which i was thrilled about bc the scale had only gone down about 8 lbs... So definatly track in more than one way... pics, measurements, etc... You are doing wonderful 20 Lbs is a big deal! :) keep it up

Good Job. I can never tell either, but then I look back at pictures and I can really tell! So maybe you should look st some old pictures and take some new ones!

Isn't that the best feeling??? I love hearing from people, especially people I don't see too often, that I look like I lost weight, etc. It almost reinforces it for me. I'm down 34lbs and I can somewhat see I lost weight, but I have people telling me a lot that they can tell.

Congratulations to you!! I hope you're on cloud 9 between your awesome weight loss and the compliments! You deserve it!

Good luck with the fill. Every pound counts. Our own brains are the last to see the changes. Not unusual at all!

      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.
