Fun And Maybe Some Laughs



Recommended Posts

Hi Ya'll sleevers and soon to be sleevers.

I wanted to post something that maybe we can all relate to and maybe laugh a little :) or cry...lol!!

1 - What is something that you are NEVER going to miss before being sleeved ? (if you already are sleeved then think back)

2- What is something that you are SUPER excited about after being sleeved?

--------

1- I am never going to miss my underwear that keeps "rolling/falling down" or trying to pull them up while walking....NOT CUTE

2- Besides getting to a healthy BMI and all the greatness with that it would be WEARING A Black SEQUIN dress BABY!! t

Love to hear YOURS!! :)

I do NOT miss being unable to clean myself properly after doing #2, just could not reach that far at my fattest.

I DO like shopping at stores and finding a LOT of clothes that fit. In fact a few times I could not find anything that was SMALL enough, was shopping for a jogging suit and everything started at in the LARGE, which was hanging off me.

Im looking forward to wearing cute stylish clothes from the normal girl store.

Im looking forward to doing yoga and not cutting of my air supply.

Im looking forward to making the inner thighs of my jeans last as long as the rest of the jeans.

Im looking forward to being able to get my freak on with my hubby easier :)

There are hundreds and hundreds of things to not miss and just as many things to look forward to.

Not going to miss my double chin, rubbing thighs and feeling like I'm dragging concrete blocks around.

Super excited about finally getting my weight under control, feeling light and energized, and learning what it is to have confidence.

I won't miss wearing layers and layers of Spanx just to smooth everything out.

I won't miss being out of breathe when I go up and down our stairs.

I won't miss feeling like I'm stuck in a giant shell that isn't me.

I look forward to the day I hear, YOU are pretty instead of "you have such a pretty face!"

I look forward to being able to keep up with my children.

I look forward to not being a "new" me, but being ME.

There's so many good things listed here already, but here's some more I can think of:

I won't miss feeling so fixated on food.

I am excited to be able to wear high heels for a good length of time without being in excruciating pain (I have so many that I've never even worn!).

      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.
