My update 357lbs to 233



Recommended Posts

Life has been tough very tough for me since surgery. I found out my husband was cheating on me and walked out on me two weeks or so after surgery (aug 22, 2012)I then moved out of my parents because they werent very supportive and then hit depression and was diagnosed with major depression and then met a wonderful guy who I dated for two months but broke up because I found out he had a baby on the way. We keept seeing eachother and I just found out im pregnant 2 days ago. Im very scared. This would b my first child and hes not wanting me to keep it but I have strong beliefs about abortion so thats not a option for me. Im worried that after all my hard work I might gain a lot of weight and not be able to hit my goal weight...im sooo proud of my success but now feel like it was all for nothing. My starting weight was 357 and im at 233 today :) my surgery date was aug 18, 2012.

You are quite the beauty. Children are a true blessing you will likely lose the weight fairly quickly especially if you chose to breastfeed. So sorry that you have gone through all this turmoil but i hope your are stonger and more confident having weathered the storm.

We all take our path things dont always work out in the order they should for.me it was single mom college another kid college marriage college two more kids graduate kid now i have my business and am truly happy. Honestly i thing god puts us through these trials so that we can appreciate the true things that come from it. You can handle anything that you put your mind too and although we make mistakes along the way you just gotta keep trying and though your parents might be upset with you they will likely come around thats what unconditional love is. You will know this when you meet your baby its an amazing kind of love that is overwhelming.

Wow!!!

you've lost 124 lbs

amazing - good for you

beautiful pictures :)

sorry you are dealing with many personal problems :(

there is a pregnancy site on the board

i've heard and seen many people in your situation

you could/should talk to them

i've heard many comments from other "preggo's ;) , and they gained some healthy necessary weight for the baby

but they were successful with taking the weight back off

wishing you well, hopefully things will gradually work out :)

good luck

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

      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.
