Nearly A Year And Fabulous!



Recommended Posts

This is a miracle! I've never felt better in my life. Even when I lost 110 (and gained it back) I don't remember feeling this good. No more metabolic syndrome, no more apnea, no pains in my feet or ankles, my knees are fine. Feeling deprived was my big thing in the past, cheated often, could hardly wait to eat again.

Not this time. No beers or sodas -- I miss the occaisional beer, but not that much. I rarely eat bread unless it's fabulous, famous, or absolutely unavoidable. No Pasta, not even the good-for-you kind. I love both bread and pasta, but I don't feel deprived. I think the reason is because it's my choice, not a program requirement. I'm the one who's in charge.

Here I am now, down 5 sizes and below what I thought was my goal and still drifting downward. Un believeable.

Sooo encouraging and inspiring!! I'm 5 weeks post op and have felt like I'm going to be the one who gets the surgery but doesn't lose the weight even though I haven't had a major stall yet!! I hope I'll be the one saying this a year from now!!

Thank you do much for the post!

Fantastic! Good for you! Glad you did it without feeling deprived, too. That can make the journey a whole lot easier.

Keep the positive lights shining.

I agree -- How encouraging! I'm happy for you! :wub: Thank you for sharing!

I am also 5 weeks post-op. I have been at 182 lbs for the past 3 weeks. Definitely losing inches though!

I hope I can say that I am at goal, or below goal a year from now, God willing!

      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.
