The Top 5 Things You Will Not Miss After Vsg



Recommended Posts

cherrybomb: that really does suck. Cookbooks, that I can understand as a gift (although it's rather a backhanded slap), but not an actual diet how-to book. That is downright mean. *hug* Perhaps you can find a "how-to survive plastic surgery" or "how-to win friends and keep from being a loser" book for the giver for this Christmas ?

Cookee, I HATE The Biggest Loser! It's not motivational to me. Maybe it is for some people, but not me. I just see a bunch of obese people put on display so people can laugh at them.

Maybe I'll feel differently when I'm thinner, I don't know.

I forgot about grandmothers....they do tend towards that type of thing. I tell myself it comes from a place of love... And try to just let it go :/

Geez. You'd had to go to extremes for a bit

Another one, I will not miss my feet KILLING me after any kind of prolonged walking. I want to take kiddos to the zoo without feeling like my feet are going to explode or break!

I also look forward to ditching all of my wide width, "comfortable" shoes for cuter ones!

What I always thought was funny is that people were eating during the biggest loser. I think it's a circus. I mean they exploit everyone now!!

I'm almost three months out, here's 5 things I don't miss:

* Sweating all the time. Hot flashes have also dropped dramatically.

* Bras not fitting. My cups no longer overfloweth.

* Gorging myself at parties, but if there is shrimp I am on it.

* Knocking things over with my huge saddlebags.

* Not being able to find anything that fits at the thrift store. I emptied my closet and am having a blast refilling it on the cheap.

1)I won't miss feeling unattractive no sexual energy. I wonder why and how I am still married

2)I won't miss ppl making comments like remember how thin she was when she was younger. Or how pretty she would be if she lost a few pounds.

3)sweating I will never forget this sitting down in a nice summer turquoise dress and when I got up it was soaked.

4)I won't miss wearing spanks or girdles all year round.

5)I won't miss changing over and over again because nothing looks right or good.

I will not miss

1: sweating profusely even when the weather is freezing and having people ask if I'm sick

2: looking for any excuse to wear pants with an elastic waist band

3: feeling my chin on my chest when I'm curled up in bed

4: friends trying to set me up with overweight males because apparently that's all I can attract

5: the feeling of being embarrassed to eat anything other then a salad in public because I think people are judging me

That's just the tip of the iceberg there are many other things I WON'T miss :)

      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.
