Major goal reached - time to party!



Recommended Posts

Ok, folks. I've been waiting to be able to say this....are you ready? I am officially half way to my desired weight loss goal. I wanted to lose 100 lbs and I have hit the 50 lb loss mark. Yeah! Party! Party!

My surgery was April 13th, so it took less than 4 months! I have nothing but good to say about getting the sleeve and my health:

1) Off the sleep apnea machine

2) From a 3X to 18/20 clothes.

3) Didn't lose any hair (that I noticed anyway)

4) Knees & feet not hurting so much anymore.

5) Self-confidence boosted

6) Can feel my bottom rib cage bone!

7) Can play and work harder and longer!

8) Hubby thinks he's died and gone to heaven.

9) sleep better at night; hips don't hurt.

I could go on and on.....

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for attending my "milestone party"! It is so great to be able to share it with you all. My sister just saw me for the first time since May and she was amazed. She kept remembering things we did together when we were young and reckless and my husband got an earful of our exploits. Later she said it must be my weight loss, and that I look more like that long ago girl, that brought the memories to mind. I'm not reckless anymore, but I sure feel younger!

Thanks again!

      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.
