You Know You're A Sleever When...



Recommended Posts

With each day that passes since my surgery on 8/1, I'm realizing that my life really, really, really is changing! Today i giggled at myself as I reflected on a few of the changes. Please feel free to join in!

You know you're a sleever when...

1. You look forward to eating your Gummy vitimins because it's almost like eating candy

2. You walk through the grocery store and nothing looks appealing

3. You get to the check-out at the grocery store and the only thing in your cart is Protein.< /p>

3. You can't find anything in your closet that fits and this makes you SMILE :Ds

4. You're thirsty but you can't drink because if you do you will have to wait 10 more minutes for lunch

5. You're panties don't slide down below your muffin top anymore

HAHAHA!!! What a crazy ride the last 20 days have been.

1. You order an appetizer portion of anything AND still need a "go" container.

2. You sometimes forget to eat because you're just not hungry any more.

3. You can handicap Protein Bars based on calorie count, carbs, and grams of Protein.< /p>

4. You know it's time to stop eating when your nose starts running, you sneeze, or some other really strange signal.

6. You're only eating 500 cals a day.

7. Sometimes you only eat Soup throughout the day.

8. You're addicted to your scale, and you giggle a little every time you step on it.

9. You ACTUALLY know what the meaning of VSG is.

10. You log your entire life onto MyFitenessPal every day.

WHEN:

...you're at a birthday celebration and even though you are the one slicing the cake for everyone,you don't want or eat any of it!

...you feel like a lion or tiger on the hunt or something because all you do is eat meat/protein.

...the scale you previously never owned, is now something you do morning, noon, and night. If it goes up, you have to restrain yourself from tossing it through the window.

...when you're in a nasty stall, you accuse your surgeon of being inept, and removing the wrong organ.

....you load your plate because you're ravenously hungry (it CAN happen;) ), only to take a few bites and declare how full you are and are nauseated by the site of the remaining food....

You look at the menu and decide what to order by what is the SMALLEST entree rather than the way you used to looking for the LARGEST entree.

You have little packs of nuts stored in your car, desk, purse and moms house, in case you get hungry and need a quick meal.

      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.
