It's a great day to be alive!!!



Recommended Posts

Can I just say, it's a great day to be alive?! I am just so happy and wanted to share. I got my first fill on Fri and now I feel as though I've gone from a stationary bike to a Harley-Davidson. I have lost 25 lbs without restriction and I can't wait to see what happens next. My scales are finally moving for the first time in weeks. It's amazing. I LOVE RESTRICTION!!!!!

I took a walk this evening and it's just beautiful here....currently 73 degrees. It rained earlier today and it was nice to smell the country air and listen to the crickets & cicadas. I was thinking of how fortunate I am. I have a beautiful family AND I'm losing weight.

Just ignore this is you think it's corny.....it is. I just wanted to type how I am feeling. I love LBT and am thankful for this site!!!

I'm jealous of that wonderful temp you have in Indiana...it's really hot and muggy here in Tennessee but the thunder is rolling, so a storm is headed this way, and my knee doesn't allow for much walking. I'm so happy your first fill was a positive experience. It was so good to hear as I prepare to have my first. You are my inspiration. Keep up the good work, and yes it is wonderful just to be alive and see such a cheerful post :)

I hope it's OK to ask you here do you like the new weight loss sticker...I love it. "I will not cheat on my diet"....it's cute don't you think. Apparently the site is back up and I now have two tickers :confused: The top ticker has to go, but will have to wait for daughter (the computer genie) to fix it. I'm "computer challenged".

Luv ya,

Dody

You know, my FIL is in Crossville, TN and they have said how HOT it has been there. I'm glad to be here. You never know what to expect from one day to the next, but that's OK.

I'm sure your fill will go great as well. Every day the scales keep slipping down. If I had known this, I would have gotten my fill a long time ago. Figured it gave me time to work on the head hunger thing.

LBT can always use a cheerful post. I hope this can pick someone up today. It's corny, I know however, truthful. Luv you too my friend!!

      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.
