This Will Happen To You!



Recommended Posts

A 10, I am wearing a size 10 jean today. Since my Nov VSG date I have gone from a size 20W to a size 10 jean!!! All I can say to those who are either anxiously waiting for their date and for those who have recently had the surgery is "THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!" And it's wonderful to realize that you (I) won't ever get back into those 20s! (except for comparison purposes lol)

Me either!! I'm wearing a size 20/22 now & would be happy to be anything smaller. Heck, I'd start dancing if I could just get back in my 16's!

Isn't it too cool? Way to go! I know that for the first time in my life I'm getting rid of my "fat clothes" instead of saving them for when I'll need them again. The sleeve ain't easy, but these are the things that make it all worth while. Congrats to you and to all of my other loser buddies!

I have been going to the gym 3-4 days a week doing mostly cardio stuff. I walk on the treadmill, use the eliptical and ride the recumbent bike. I also swim. I can't do any weight lifting/strengthening type of exercises because I have an artificial knee. But I can tell with the low impact cardio that I have been doing I am seeing that I am toning up. I do have some loose/sagging skin that I figure between being overweight forever and being 50 years old that's to be expected, but my husband is the only one that gets to see that. lol I'm just so darn excited to be in a size 10 jean, 30 years ago when I got married I was wearing a size 9, it's just unbelievable!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. As it's getting closer and I am saving all this money each month to pay for this surgery, it's reassuring to me that I am making the best decision for me and my life. Reinventing myself. Making a commitment to myself for health and happiness. I look at my savings and try to not feel guilty for spending the money on me when it can go toward my next goal of financial freedom. One step at a time. I will finally be free of my unhealthy addiction/attachment to food. Right now - that's sounds like a great way to be free!!! July 3rd... My independence day. Can't wait for my size 12's.

      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.
