A successful journey so far!



Recommended Posts

I didnt know where else to put these. Because I feel like I'm already a success, I figured I'd put them here. I took some pictures of me in a brown dress I bought on my way home from my Sleeve surgery on September 19th. I bought this dress too small on purpose. It is a Size L. This is me wearing this dress barely two months later!! :)) I"m all smiles!!!

Wow you look sooo much smaller! Especillay in the brown dress compared to the long sweater picture! Your face is so slim too, you have a very nice jawline with no wobbly neck. I just have great feelings about how your success is going to be. You are always so positive and upbeat I just know you will continue to be a huge inspiration and a shining light! Just look how much you have already accomplished. KUDOS

Awww you all are the sweetest!!! I really can't see it when I look in the mirror to be honest. All I see is me still size 28. Then I try on these small(er) clothes and I'm amazed I fit them. Some of my small(er) clothes are starting to baggy up on me too. ...which is just fine!!!... :lol:

At least several times per day now someone is commenting on my weight loss or telling me I look good. It makes me feel good, and it helps me to know that I really DID make the right decision to do this.

Lila, best wishes on your surgery coming up!! You will be so happy - and maybe not at first, but soon you will realize that this surgery REALLY DOES WORK!!!!!

Hugs to all!!! We CAN do it!!!!!!!!!

      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.
