1 Year Surgiversary Today



Recommended Posts

1year surgiversary

Today May 10th is one year from my surgery. Like many have said in their surgiversary post its hard to believe a year has past. A year ago I was in Mexico in surgery with Dr. Almanza right now. Starting this new life. Here a year later I am below goal, feeling great, look alright I suppose, running in half marathons, no health issues, playing with my Kids, enjoying so many rhings in life that were beyond my reach. It truly is a new life. Filled with awe and adventure. I was thinking yesterday about my new eating habits and style. I found myself wondering in 10 years how it will be. Who knows. What I do know is my life has been changed, enriched, opened up in ways I only dreamed before.

May each of you find this place of peace with food and joy in your outter self matching the real inner you!

Wow good for you! Were so proud of you. I'm going to be five months on Sat. and I've lost 65 pounds, and I'm so excited with life. I can't wait for my one year, cause I hope to be at goal. I need to lose about 45 pounds. Thanks for letting us know, how it is after 1 year. Kathy

You look great! But even better that you have achieved happiness you hoped for with the surgery.

      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.
