Hello bones, nice to see you again!



Recommended Posts

So I find that I can't keep my hands off my jawbone and collarbone. It's as if I have to keep touching them to make sure I can still feel them. And last night, laying in bed...I found ribs and a hip bone! Holy Moly I had forgotten what my bones felt like.

Even the bones in my hands and wrist are starting to change. Sometimes I see my knuckles when my hand is on the steering wheel and even they look a little different. I know some of you are feeling the same way, and only you guys would be able to relate, so thanks for listening.:thumbup:

So funny that you should mention those bones :thumbup: I remember about 15 years ago I lost alot of weight doing Fen-Phen (or is it Phen-Fen??). I worked at a daycare and laid down in the floor with the kiddos for naptime. I was laying on my back, and lo and behold!! Hipbones!! I couldn't believe it, and I was ecstatic!! I completely understand how exhilarating seeing a bone like that can be :) I just hope a year from now I'll be saying hello to my old bony friends again, too. Congrats!

Awesome!!! What a great NSV. I have never seen one of my rib bones or hip bones in my life lol. The collar bones are around even now at 280 so I'm greatful for that :thumbup: But I know I'll be just as thrilled as you when I see one of the others! Congrats!

Yes I do the same, I keep touching my collarbones. Its very strange, like you have found a whole new typography of you. I used to do the same years ago with my ribs when I was borderline anorexic so we should be careful.

Congrats! So happy that you've found motivation and happiness in something that so many "regular sized" people take for granted. hehe I cant wait to be right there with you. I'm hoping that non-scale victories such as discovering new bones will keep me on the right path! This just makes me want my Surgery date to get here even faster now so I can join the club. :-)

Totally agree with you. It is weird and not everyone understands our little joys that we get from loosing weight!! Keep up the good work!

LOl...I am not to the bones phase yet...but I admit I love laying in bed knowing my stomach is so much smaller...right before my surgery I was so bloated and uncomfortable and my stomach felt really distended. Still not at collarbones...but happy nonetheless.

Congrats!

      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.
