The transformation has begun



Recommended Posts

Ok, I've had 2 big "rolls" of fat - one above my waist (below breasts) and one below my waist. Today I just realized that the roll of fat above my waist is SMALLER! When I look down my front, I used to just see that roll of fat above my waist. Now, I can barely see it (past my breasts that is) and very obviously see the roll of fat below my waist.

Strange I know to be excited to see a roll of fat - but I am! I never thought I would see a difference in my body so quickly! Woo Hoo!!!!

That is great news. I asked my husband this morning if he could tell a difference, and he said yes....a roll on my back is gone. LOL Normally that would hurt my feelings that he noticed I have fat rolls on my back....but it made me happy. :lol:

I can tell a difference already in my clothes. The capris I'm wearing today are really lose. Maybe in another week or two I can buy something smaller. woo hoo.

well I can hardly let you two have all the fun. I bought a new belt that I could barely buckle before surgery knowing that I would fit into it just fine in a couple of weeks. yesterday I wore it on the third hole all day and wasn't in the least uncomfortable. I was ordering a pull over as a fundraiser for my kids high school football team and I ordered an XL not a XXXL. I actually tried one on and I got it on, it was tight but I got it on. That's enough for now...I don't want to highjack your thread too much.

Congrats to both of you fircrackers. Can't wait to hear about all of the changes to come.

Nancy I have had a similar experience. What is really interesting to me is that my stomach is usually not what shows weightloss first. I usually (according to my husband) show it in my rearview first. Yesterday he told me he could see it in my shoulder area and I have noticed my t-shirts hang differently now. I will take weightloss however I can get it but to see it in an area that is usually hard for me to lose is great. Thanks for starting the thread!

      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.
