Feeling like a new woman!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys :)

I'm now just over two weeks and I have the following points to note:

  • I'm down two sizes already!
  • I went for lunch today and was totally satisfied on about a quarter of a starter portion of prawns and avocado!
  • I'm all of a sudden interested in clothes and shoes again!
  • I've started to wear lipstick again!
  • My spots are clearing up!
  • I splashed out on some posh body firming moisturiser!
  • I no longer have a nap during the day whenever I can!
  • I'm smiling more!

And the biggest and most wonderful change of all - I feel at peace :biggrin0:

I no longer feel like I am constantly fighting against my urges and cravings. I don't feel like my body and my brain are having a tug of war. I no longer feel angry and bitter about my weight. I feel wonderful!

:thumbup::001_wub::biggrin0::lol0::thumbup:

Hooray for the sleeve! I hope some of you share the same happiness now or with time. xxxxx

I had another great moment today!!

The guys in my office do a weekly run to the bakery on the corner. In the past I have always accepted a cake, eaten it, then felt guilty for the rest of the day, OR I would have tried to be good and said "no thanks", then sulked for the rest of the day because I felt deprived.

However, today was the first time EVER that I said "nothing for me thanks" and actually meant it! I didn't want anything, and didn't feel angry and bitter watching everyone eating theirs when they arrived.

This tool is such a blessing. I hope I never take it for granted.

      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.
