Recommended Posts

Here's me at 168 :)...I'm soooooooo not comfortable with body pics, but I really do need to document, plus my friend wanted a picture of me in the sweater she bought me for my birthday. It's storming here in So Cal and just got back from errands, but it was now or never (have to get dinner started). Pics were taken with my blackberry so not great quality.

OOPS here's a before pic too...

Wow! You look great!!!

You guys are soooo awesome! Thank you! Merry Christmas!!!

P.s. I saw my in laws last night and they asked me what I was doing to lose weight, I said it's all about cutting the portions, eating Protein and counting/tracking, basically using weight watcher system (all true), but I felt bad :(...I think I may tell them once I reach goal (not sure), but just couldn't do it just yet :( ...

I think pretty much most of my family know I had the surgery, however not everyone does. It does get a little weird not to say I had surgery, because I'm not really the type to do that. I just don't really tell anyone at work. They can be so judgemental and annoying!!! They hold no credence in my real day to day life, so if they don't know I don't care.

It's ok though - when that time comes just be honest and tell them why you didn't say anything either. No worries, I'm sure they will all be happy for you regardless - BIG HUGS!!!

      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.
