Hey Everyone!

I recently hit the three stone lost point, and getting tons of lovely comments from people about how well I look. Loving being able to dress up pretty for Christmas parties for the first time too!

Here is my horrific before pic again for those of you who haven't seen it, and a couple from last night.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas, and that I might inspire anyone in a stall or on the road towards surgery to keep going!

xxxxx

Thanks guys!!

I had many hopes from this surgery, but never truly expected that it could have gone so well and that I would get so much out of it. For me it was less to do with losing weight, and more to do with having control over what I eat and taking away the obsession with food which dominated my life.

I now barely think about food, and feel like a new person. I want to cry when I look at my before photo because it reminds me just how depressed and desperate I felt. Now I feel liberated.

I realise some people have not had such an easy ride post-op, and I can only say that I hope that everyone finds at least a fraction of the happiness I have found in time. I am extremely lucky, and I never take it for granted.

Ramble over! :)

Wow 2Steps - CONGRATS TO YOU!!!

You look great! I must also say how much happier you look too.

I think the transformation us sleevers go through on the inside is even better than that on the outside. I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Well, maybe one thing - but that's about it!! B)

      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.
