Awesome moment happened today



Recommended Posts

So I had a awesome moment today that just made me feel great and has gave me more of a boost on my journey.

So I started my Journey at 360lbs and had surgery Jan. 21st. I am down to 245lbs.

Today I went to a cookout with my friends family and my godson came over to me (he is 6). He say down next to me and said "Hi uncle John". I said hi and asked him how he was doing. He said "Uncle John you look different". I told him I lost some weight. He said "I see that" then ran off to play with the other kids.

I was kind of shocked about the whole thing but it made me feel really good.

Just wanted to share with everyone because it was amazing moment.

Awesome, that is a boost. I saw my nephew for the first time last month since he left for college last summer. He said "you got little!" Never though I looked big to him before. It's awesome!!!!

      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.
