I Get Excited When . . .



Recommended Posts

You know weight loss surgery has changed you when the following begins to happen:

I get excited when it's time to take my beloved caramel calcium chews.< /span>

I get excited when I approach the scale at the doctor's office.

I get excited when trying on sunglasses at the store and they all FIT.

I get excited when it's morning snack time and my chocolate Protein Bar awaits.

I get excited when it's time to go to the gym.

...ok, I made that last one up, but the rest are true!

What post-surgery is exciting for you?

I'm excited when I can physically do something I couldn't before. I am able to bend while gardening- who knew!?!?!? without feeling nauseated.

I get excited when I can do air squats and lunges without turning red.

Also when my 34 jeans fit comfortably, almost loose.

I get excited when I sit in a chair where my hips don't touch each side!!!

I get excited when I have a pile of clothes to take to the second-hand store because they are too big!!!

I get excited when those clothes I have been saving for when I lose weight I am actually able to wear!!

On the same note. Comfortable sitting in a chair at the theater last week and not spilling over. Not having to use a seatbelt extender on an airplane.

I get excited because while my clothes don't fit long, it's not because they are getting too tight like they used to, before surgery.

I get excited because I don't have to fear going places because the chair is too tight.

I get a thrill from being able to easily tie my shoes.

I love waking up every day knowing I have the real potential to be a thin person, knowing I was not controlled by food yesterday, and I won't be today, either.

      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.
