You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

When you can easily walk 3 miles with your 12 year-old son and not get winded. Where as before the 100yards to the mail box made you have to taken a nap.

Your wedding ring falls off your finger.

I agree! One of my goals was to be able to someday wear my weeding ring again. After 3 months and 44 lbs I am able to wear it and it is loose! post-213271-14122622918261_thumb.jpg

I am loving this sleeve!

Your tummy is no longer bigger than your boobs (wohoo) and the hair tie on your wrist doesn't feel like it's going to cut off circulation... it's LOOSE!

You know you are losing weight when your 12 year old son tells you to pull up your pants you are sagging to much for a mom!

and

You know you are losing weight when your 8 year old can get her arms around you and link her own fingers together!

This is what I want for my last child to do, hug me and get his little arms around my waist.

A few recent ones for me:

-A co-worker tells you :"If you lose any more weight you're going to blow away!"

-You get carded buying a bottle of wine and the cashier does a double take between you and your ID photo

-You have to go out and buy a full-length mirror, because you don't recognize your own lower body in a photo (true story, happened to me last Wednesday)

A woman came into our office. She went over to my co-worker and said. "I see you have a new girl here"

She laughed and said. "No that's Jaci, she lost a lot of weight". The woman didn't believe her. Lol. I've worked there for almost 14 years. The woman was embarrassed and said it was that my hair looked different. My hair was in a ponytail, which it often is. This honestly made my day.

We got t-shirts to wear for a special work event. My coworker saw me in the ladies room trying to decide whether to tuck it in or not. She said "with your flat stomach, you should tuck it in." Nobody has ever said my stomach was flat!

Last night I went to visit my Fiance and in a room with maybe 20 other people he couldn't find. He said I was looking so different. That was an amazing feeling. =)

      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.
