Total attention whore post Before and after



Recommended Posts

So, this week marks a pretty awesome point in my WLS journey.

I started my WLS journey with the band at 270lbs, sleeve revision at 263lbs, and today I'm weighing in at 135.

I've lost literally half of pre-op self ! ! !

Just thought this is a really awesome moment for me so I thought I would share.

I bought new skinny jeans this week from Rue 21, they're a size 8/9 and they are way smaller than my other 9's in the closet. I seriously love my sleeve.

For those of you debating this surgery, do it. I couldn't be happy with my sleeve. I couldn't imagine living the life I'm living today.

You deserve all the happiness ever! You have worked so hard to get where you are at and the outcome is fantastic! You should be so proud of yourself Tiff!

I am so, so very proud of you. . you can't imagine, I tell people about you at work and share your story and help them make the right decisions when talk about WLS. . . you are an inspiration to many many people and that, my friend, makes you a wonderful loving person. . . keep that trait and in the end everything will be given back to you with rejoicing and salvation. . . thanks for sharing your story. . . hugs

You look awesome. I showed pictures to my husband - he can't wait for my weightloss phase to be over. (I'm trying to believe he was just thinking of me thin & not looking at how smokin'hot you are! LOL)

Thank you all so very much. Today was probably one of the best days I've had in a really long time.

Mentally, I feel so much better, not even going to try to lie that the physical stuff that is a huge pay-off, but the mental aspects of this post-op life is the biggest pay-off.

I love each and every one y'all. I feel like I have a second family with y'all. I appreciate all your kind words, and thank you from the depths of my heart for all of your continued support and encouragement.

      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.
