When Did I Get Them?



Recommended Posts

My husband and I were play fighting today, which we often do, and out of no where he pulls a move never used on me before... He grabs my collar bone! I didn't know I had them... He told me they've been poking out a few weeks now. Went to the bathroom mirror to check... I'll be damned.. there they were. NSV number 1227... Lol...(or so it feels lol)

Stalls are temporary. This is when we notice changes in our body. I had one that lasted almost 4 weeks. Then it starts coming off again. 35 pounds is huge. Celebrate each pound. I do a little happy dance for each one

My collar bones were one of my first NSV's at about 20 pounds. I've definitely lost from the top down, as "they" say women do. When sitting at my desk at work, I often lean forward with my elbow on the desk, cross my arm across my chest and rest my hand on my chest/shoulder. The first time I felt that bone poking out it scared me. It takes a while to get used to!

Star, I've been big my entire life too. Now when I feel a new bone I worry it's going to break easily. There's always been so much cushioning! lol

Funny story about bones:

My dad has lost 50 pounds recently, probably now close to 100 from his highest weight, and I've never seen him so skinny! Last week we were just watching TV and he started poking at his chest. He said, jokingly, "Kelly, I never knew I had a bone here." I started laughing hysterically. I think he thought I was making fun of him because he sheepishly said "I'm just kidding. I knew I did." When I finally stopped laughing I told him it was funny because I've been saying that a lot lately, discovering bones and whatnot. So we started comparing where we feel those hard pointy things sticking out. So funny! And exciting for both of us! I only remember him as being a BIG guy.

      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.
