Omg! The Changes Are Really Happening!



Recommended Posts

So even though the scale is going down, my pants are literally falling off me and my ring fits again, I haven't really paid much attention to other changes...I took the first picture when I was a 2 months out from surgery..that is my tummy and about a half an inch of space then the steering wheel...the second one I took on Saturday and it is a bigger space!! Seeing things like this actually proves to me that it is working!!

I'm looking forward to the first thing I notice other than the scale. Being one week out and have lost 19 lbs.

Congratulations! I know exactly how that feels. My belly used to rub the steering wheel, now I am 5" from it. I still have a lot to lose, but those little things in life are just so awesome feeling!

I looked at myself in a full length mirror yesterday for the first time since i can't remember and you know what I have really lost my tummy, my butt, my fat legs, what a change. My husband has really been a great support for me. I have lost 53 lbs and I hope to be at goal by Christmas 50 more to go.

The space is at least twice as big. What a clever way to measure. Awesome!

I sent the first pic to my friend when I took it and was so proud...then I took the one on Saturday but didn't think anything of it til I was looking for an older picture to show my boss. That was when I decided to compare and was SHOCKED at the difference. My tummy was so big it could drive my car...now there is a huge gap! I thought my steering wheel needed to be checked because it was feeling loose...that's when I realized the huge gap. This honestly has to be the best nsv for me so far. I can't wait to see what happens in the next three months. I really want to be 100 lbs down by September! Maybe I will have to adjust my seat!

      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.
