Pear Shaped, Apple Shaped, Hourglass?



Recommended Posts

I've always been pear shaped... well now I'm just kinda ROUND..lol.

I was just wondering... Those of you who have met your goal weights, if you were pear/apple etc before, are you still shaped the same?

I'm hoping to be more proportionate after my weight loss.

(I tell my kids I have the figure of a coca cola bottle...too bad it's a two liter. LOL)

This topic reminds me of my dad! My sisters are very neat shapes. They use to say they had shapes like the old coke bottles and I would cry and say "why can't I be shaped like a coke bottle" and my dad would say "baby u shape like a gallon of milk" if u ask a hungry man which would he prefer a coke or a gallon of milk...now u go figure..lol

      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.
