4 Month Anniversary: Embarassed About Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Howdy!

Today is 4 months....

down 81 pounds from highest and 66 from day of surgery!

I am feeling great....wearing size 16 bottoms and either a large or XL top. I had to buy all new underwear - size 8 thank you (underwear sizes are in their own world, and an 8 is for sizes 14-16, but I am not gonna lie...loved seeing the size 8 on the package!!)

I am still struggling to drink as much Water as I should.....I am trying!!

chips go down WAY to easy...gotta watch that -

love all things seafood.

And then they ask you..."So, how much weight have you lost??"

I have been very honest with everyone, told them about my surgery....

If I can help ONE person in their journey - then yay....

But I balk here....

Early on, spoutin' off 20 or 30 pounds was awesome....

I DOn't wangt to tell work associates or acquaintances I have lost the equivalent of a German Sheppard off my ass!!

I Celebrate that with my girl friends, but co-workers are a different breed (pun intended).

The bitchiness is not appreciated, nor do I want to see raised eyebrows as they look at how much further I still have to go and strain to do the mental math to see I was a 300 pounder at one time....

Gosh NO!

ANyway -

That's my monthly check in.

Going strong....going to try and get some intentional work outs in.....

Glad to be a success story.....

Still have never been in pain or puked...

Just get REALLY full REALLY easy -

Pretty awesome huh?

Oh - here's a pic of my Halloween outfit....I chose not to wear it out of the house....9-10-c.bmp

They don't need to know the numbers. People don't look at a person and say 'oh she's lost 5lbs!' What they see is the inches... the smaller clothes, the collar bones, the shape that comes from the loss of fat. I'd feel comfy saying I went down X sizes, but other than that, it's none of their business. Just say quite a bit and still working at it... then nod and smile until they feel uncomfortable. ;)

      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.
