What is Wrong with ME?



Recommended Posts

Why would you lie?

I personally will tell everyone that asks but it seems very split on people saying they will or won't - each to their own .. It was just an idea to add too I now just eat & exercise

The girl I'm travelling with is only telling 2 people and will use "thyroid, diet and exercise" as reason for loosing weight. I %100 support her- even though I want her in the photos of our trip together! Lol

I have a friend of a friend who in 6 months lost half her body weight through "diet & exercise" she was a very big girl and now is much smaller than me... Because I'm educated on this subject I feel she's had the surgery... Unless she had a big "a-ha" moment. She was a very poor eater - huge drinker and partied & never exercised... And is quite well to do. So had funds available as it all happened rather suddenly.

A regular person will maybe be sceptical on it but believe it, but I think us on the inside (we should have a secret handshake) might raise an eyebrow and think "I wonder if she's a sleeve sister?" To ourselves lol. Good on you on whatever reasons you choose as its YOUR LIFE and you're the CEO of it... I was only mentioning the "thyroid" as another idea you could use ... Maybe loosing weight does help our thyroid anyway?! Lol

      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.
