I found my old friend



Recommended Posts

I found my old friend this morning. I step on the scale and it read 198. Have not seen that in 20 years, since blowing by the first time. Hopefull I'm blowing by in the right direction. Down 52 since Nov. 5th., I love my sleeve. :D Very happy to be in onderland!!!

Your comment about speeding by reminded me of a comment made to me by a dear friend years ago. Although the comment seems brutal, especially coming from a friend of the opposite sex, I took it with the humor intended.

I was pitifully thin following a divorce in the late 80's, just all big dark eyes and long stringy neck, nothing left of me really. Then I met my soul mate, married, and you know the rest of the story. Our lives revolved around fine wine and good cooking and lying around in bed a lot :wub:

I ran into said old friend after I'd been remarried a while, and he said to me quite candidly and with dry humor, "Linda, you used to be too thin. There's a happy medium, you know, but you just sped right past it!"

To this day for some reason that still strikes me as funny!

      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.
