7/8/13

HW: 255

SW: 241

CW: 182

Lost 59 since surgery.

It's almost time for my holiday party at work and for the last 8 years I have dreaded finding a dress and feeling like the fattest person there (I work in fashion so everyone is TINY). I found some pics from my HW SW and now in my holiday party dresses. I'm thrilled now and can't wait for this party!

July 30th sleever checking in.

HW 292

CW 221

Down 71 lbs

NSVs:

- I'm [FINALLY] buying clothes in "normal" sizes!

- I have collar bones!

- I decided to get a shorter hair cut since I'm losing my extra chins!

- I didn't worry about collapsing the table when I got a facial today!

- I walked through a restaurant last night without knocking purses off of chairs and bumping into tables!

Yes, I'm still obese. And yes, I still have a long way to go. But by golly...I've come a long way as well!

Down 67 pounds. Almost halfway to my goal weight. I am facing my food demons now, psychologically, and am glad I laid a strong foundation for the battle. Yoga every day. Some hair loss. Water is still an issue but Protein is much easier. Averaging 900 calories and 40 carbs daily. So glad I did this. Shovelling snow was easy and my social anxieties are fading.

I am also facing a psychological battle. For whatever reason I have spent the last couple of weeks sabotaging myself. Otherwise feeling great and down 72lbs (Surgery date: 1 July). I can also eat virtually anything I like now which is a mixed blessing.

      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.
