So Happy But also nervous!!!



Recommended Posts

Well here I am approaching 168lbs lost and ready to break into the three hundreds for the first time in at least 15 years and my feelings aren't exactly what I thought they would be! I thought I would be so giddy and excited and don't get me wrong I am very happy but nervous and anxious! It seems just 9 months ago I was given a year to live and weighed 565lbs and now I am off all meds and ready to be below 400lbs it is all happening so fast that I don't think my mind is having enough time to catch up with my body( how weird is that? it use to be the opposite way around)! I guess I am just nervous about being at the starting line again of another 100lbs to lose but I am sure that it will come off just how the last amount has! I am soo happy with my decision to have the sleeve I just wish I could see the changes in body like other people are seeing them? Is that common for someone who has lost a significant amount of weight to not see it ??

What an awesome story!!!! You should be proud of yourself.

I can totally understand the anxiety ... you are changing you. Not the you inside, but your confidence, your appearance, and your self-esteem. Now, give that anxiety a second of reflection & move onto the celebration train. AWESOME!!!

      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.
