NSV I guess, hell it is!!!!



Recommended Posts

So at the start of my journey a year ago I weighed 309 lbs. At the day of surgery I was 251 and today I'm down to 170.2. Yes I am an addict to my scale. I mean so damn bad that the battery died and I swear I went into convulsions. It's hard to believe that this is my body and I do take pics almost everyday so it will register in my head that yes I am thinner and not the 300lb blob that I still see myself as. I'm not to comfortable in my saggy skin just yet but hey heres what I look like in my first tank top since I had surgery. My hard work is starting to pay off I would think.

If you are undecided still, do it and you will not regret anything at all. My hubby has even decided to have the surgery after he was against it

I work out pretty much everyday, I have a weight machine here at home, a stationary bike, xbox kinect workouts and while I'm at work I climb the stairs from the basement to the 12th floor (thats 14 flights). I'm really active, always moving. I'm currently waiting for the gym to open up by my house which will be in two weeks. My food intake well its bad, I do have chips every so often and 1 cookie. I do everything in moderation. But because I workout alot I have to keep my calories up somehow or I plateau for awhile. But mostly I do my Protein shakes in the morning, a Protein Bar for a snack, salad for lunch w/turkey and dinner is whatever we make. I do stay away from breads and pastas, just not ready for them yet.

Oh don't let the pic fool you my arms sag and bad you just cant see it, the skin is hiding under my arm :D . My thighs are all wrinkley to where I will not wear shorts in public.

      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.
