A Couple of Pics...



Recommended Posts

So I promised Dr. Aceves' office I would send pics. Here's what I sent them. Enjoy. For those of you thinking about doing this - you've herard it over and over and over again, DO IT! Run, don't walk - don't waste any more of your life. I wish I could express how much joy and happiness having this done has brought to me AND those around me; I'm no longer the angry, jealous, depressed fat chick anymore but 180 degrees - SO far from that - I just can't even explain... I don't use the word miracle very often but well, this is about as close as it gets in my opinion.

Love all of you guys,

C

Hey C!!!! Wow you're such a motivation and inspiration here!!! I love how you say you're not the angry, jealous, depressed fat chick anymore - because I can completely and utterly relate to this sentiment and I still have about 60 lbs to lose!!! I can just imagine how much more wonderful my life would be when I get there.

It is so true, this surgery IS as close as it gets to a miracle.

Hugs and BIG CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!!

Do you hear that Pre Sleevers??? RUN DON'T WALK!!!! Your life will be forever changed and you will be just as happy as those who are at goal and those like me who can *finally* see hope and end in sight.

:D :D :D :D

I am so glad that I found this web site. The information is amazing and you guys look amazing. I am so ready to be sleeved. I am in Nova Scotia and have been on the list for over 3 years now and last August i attended a group meeting for approx. 50 of us who were on the list. We've had to keep track of everything we've done & eaten since then. Finally about 2 weeks ago I received a letter for my next appointment with the nurse, nutritionist and psychologist. I am so ready to have some quality to my life. I'm presently 338lbs and 5'6", it hurts to walk, sit, lay down and anything I want to do is very painful too.

You folks on this forum have given me so much hope with your words and also just knowing that other people know how I feel and I'm not alone through this journey is amazing. Please throw a little prayer my way so I can get sleeved before it's too late. :rolleyes:

You were beautiful before, and still are. Your body type does look completely different. You look like you've lost all of your weight, even that last little bit. You look like a very lean body type person now. That must feel incredible.

I am very happy for you!!!

      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.
