First big milestone for me met



Recommended Posts

I am so, so very excited I have lost 52 pounds as of today. I had my surgery 10/11/12 SW 278 and today 226. I have never in my life lost 50 pounds so this is monumental for me. My husband bought me a cool gadget for my scrapbooking, the Silhouette Cameo, to commemorate the 50 pound loss.

At 75 pounds I am getting a tattoo! And at 100 pounds a shopping spree.

I feel like I can do anything now! Every day I feel more alive and confident and energetic. I am so blessed. I am so glad that I didn't let anyone else or me talk myself out of getting the sleeve. It was totally worth it!

That's so great! I need to figure out some nice treats for myself. I've always said when I get skinny I'm getting a full back tattoo that I already have designed, but I need some more treats to add to the list. Don't forget to take a pic of that tattoo when you get it!!

      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.
