List of things I am sick of because of my weight.



Recommended Posts

... Rubbing my belly on the steering wheel even though I was already so far back my feet could barely touch the pedals...

Had a funny moment this noon. Went out to my van and absent mindedly sat in the drivers seat and poked the seat memory button and the seat wouldn't budge. I fussed with it a few times before I realized it WAS already in the right position. The 6+ inches from the wheel to my belly was with the seat already pulled forward. I had just never noticed it before and actually got out of the drivers seat WITHOUT putting the seat full back and down.

God, I love this sleeve.

I am sick of going to my regular PCP and having these skinny girls that weigh me. I then feel like an idiot because deep down I know they are judging me.

Ah yes. I had one doctor who was a weight snob and so was his staff. He was one of those: "I don't believe in meds or weight loss surgery because you are just lazy and eat like a pig." doctors. I was going to him almost daily and they would weigh me every FREAKING day.

He also gave my daughter a Hep B shot when I requested Hep A and he was a cruddy doctor to boot.

These posts are great and oh so true. I feel the same way about those flimsy white plastic lawn chairs,lol Being obese becomes a way of life, you start to automatically accept and know the things that you can't do. Thanks to the sleeve we know longer have to accept being a second class citizen.

      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.
