4 months out and I have a camel toe - woohoo!



Recommended Posts

I'm just a few days away from my 4 month surgiversary and thought I'd share the good and the bad.

The Good:

  • I started at 185 and am now down to 144
  • I'm in a size 8 and headed to a size 6 on my next shopping trip
  • Lots of compliments and people calling me thin are fantastic (who me? thin?)
  • My thighs no longer rub together and in fact, I have a camel toe when i put on leggings . . . and I'm wearing leggings!
  • Things are toning up nicely. I'll loose like 4 lbs, then stall for a week or two and then things will reshape and tighten up.

The Bad:

  • I think my gallbladder needs to come out. I've had several strong attacks that have knocked me to the ground. Getting official tests soon
  • I'm spending too much money on clothes and bras that I've outgrown. I love buying new clothes, but hate to see them go so quickly
  • My fiance moved out two months ago . . . maybe I'm just too sassy for him now
  • I have major stomach issues like diarrhea, gas, gurgling, etc
  • Still trying to figure out meals

Would I do it again? Absolutely.

Good luck to all and here's to hoping you all gain a camel toe in the near future.

Maybe I'm not sure what a camel toe is.. I thought I did but this makes me question it? But congratulations onthe rest of 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.
