When you are at the mall with your daughter and you see a small lady coming at you and you think, "what does this skinny b!tch want" and then realize you are walking towards a mirror. hahahaha (not that I think all thin women are you know b!tches but she was coming at me fast and I thought I was gonna have to dodge a perfume spritz or something. lol

Hahahahah good one!

I'm doing good. Finally able to get some of that gas out. I'm still taking pain meds throughout the day to take away the surgery soreness. But, I'm having trouble getting enough calories and Protein in. Last few days, I've only totaled 300 calories or less, 30 grams protein per day. This morning, I drank 4 ozs Water with 23 grams of unflavored Protein Powder just to get a head start on what I'm supposed to consume each day. I have no appetite, no desire to eat, which is shocking to me! I've never had that problem before, lol.

How about you 'Rita48'?

Today has been my worst day, sorta feeling drained. I had been doing extremely well, getting the fluids and protein in, although today I'm behind. The incisional soreness at umbilical site is killing me but the pain medication helps. I even went outside and walked a bit yesterday, today I have no get up and go. I'm looking forward to a better tomorrow. Glad that you are doing well.

Here is my latest list of "You know you lost weight when" answers.
  1. Yeah I know it seems a bit shallow, but damn it I didn't really have a shallow phase at all until now so let me live in it for a bit).

  2. *Also I maybe the only one that does this, its also a bit dangerous and silly but.....* To be able to drive with one's leg on the dash because his legs and thighs are skinny enough to allow for such flexible acts of nature.


Yes!!! And Yes!!!

      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.
