What Can I Look Forward Too? :)



Recommended Posts

Hey so you didn't have the surgery???

2013 is my year....SD 11/19 Methodist Hosp in NY

Yes I had the surgery. I was being overly sarcastic.

Here's what else you can look forward to....

Not recognizing yourself in the mirror

Others not recognizing you

Saving a fortune on fast food (I pretty much lived on the "drive thru window" diet)

Buying smaller clothes

Throwing those out and buying even smaller clothes

Getting your wedding ring resized because its falling off

Tying your shoes without passing out from holding your breath

Seeing your hoo-hoo without a mirror

Skinny sex

More skinny sex

Sitting in a restaurant booth

Having the room to wiggle around in chairs

Having to buy padded toilet seats because you lose your natural padding

Hearing the question "how did you lose the weight?" 5 million times

Being able to wear "one size fits all" garments

Did I mention skinny sex?

Look forward to just being sexy and confident in your own skin. There is nothing better than being naked (taking photos) with some sexy thong/underware on posing in front of your husband. I love my new body and so does my hubby. Honestly, I love my sleeve and my surgeon for performing this miracle.

you will hate your body the first few weeks, probably even say u have regreted the decision, but around week 3-5 you will have been completely healed and eating a "normal" diet! :-D

      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.
