55 lbs down.. halfway or so to goal PICS!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am down into the 180s amazingly enough and I feel wonderful! Yesterday was Easter and I wore a dress that I bought about a month or so ago. It was snug then, but fits perfectly now : ) My grandma wouldn't stop telling me how amazing I looked, which was so sweet but kinda made me uncomfortable. I am not usually shy about accepting compliments but yesterday I had my aunt tell me that she didn't recognize me when I walked into church, my grandma oohing and ahhing, and my uncle told me I look like a model (ok, laying it on thick, but God bless him! lol).

So I have never postd pics here and I'd like to share some from yesterday, 56 lbs down, and about 50 more to go!

The reason I added this last one is because before surgery, if I had seen a pic like this taken of me I would have been horrified at all the rolls..... and now I can only see one and I attribute it to my pantyhose :P

Thanks for looking and sharing in my joy! :)

      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.
