Recommended Posts

Hi all,

You all have been so supportive the last couple weeks and I want to thank you and update you all. I have been doing sooo much better, Im starting to figure out the liquids and how to sip, sip, sip. :smile1: I tried a few bites of egg tonight and it didnt hurt like yesterday. I think I ate too fast last night. So far I am down 28 pounds. It's crazy...everytime I start to miss food or feel sorry for myself I just think abut the weight falling off and I get over the pork chops and cheesy rice pretty quick. :smile1: The most difficult thing about being at work is lunchtime when I smell all the different lunches being nuked. I'm not hungry at all, it just all smells so good.

Anyway...here is my most recent pics :smile1:

The first was taken late DEC and the other was taken yesterday.

Wow! They're right, you are gorgeous in both pics!! I can see a big difference in your hips and thighs already! :) Having that weight seem to slide right off makes you look around to see where it fell, doesn't it? :)

Lacie, I kept thinking I should just be able to look around and see the fat flying off me, especially in the very early post-op stages! :)

OMG! Thanks for posting the picture of what was removed. As strange as it sounds, that really helps me visualize what will happen.

      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.
