Things I can't wait for Post-OP.



Recommended Posts

Besides getting healthy, what other things are you looking forward to Post-Op?

Here are a few of mine:

1) fit behind my steering wheel comfortably.

2) not getting choked out by the seat belt.

3) fit into a booth when we go out to a restaurant

4) not wear my food.

5) skinny dip

6) climb the stairs at work rather then elevator.

7) fit into 98% of my clothes.

8) cross my legs

9) have a lap

10) skinny dip.

For people to stop asking me when my baby is due. I'm NOT pregnant people, I'm just fat!!!

No more plus size stores.

Sexy panties.

To NOT always be the fattest chick in the room.

To get up from my chair at a restaurant and go to the ladies room without having to plot out my path before I start walking.

To sit comfortably in ANY chair.

To be able to say I've lost 100 pounds!

Let's hope you don't fit into ANY of your clothes and that you need to buy all new smaller sizes!!

:P

I'm only 5 days post-op, but since I lost 44 pounds on the 3-month supervised diet, I noticed that I had to move the seat forward in my husband's car. He's only a half inch taller than me & weighs about 165. In the past I always had to move the seat back when I went to drive his car. My car is in the shop getting all of the "parking lot dings" fixed while he's off work.

I can't wait to/for:

1) not being afraid to garden in my front yard( bending over to pull those weeds in my shorts surely would freak out the neighbors, dog - walkers and passers-by

2)soak in the tub and be fully submerged

3)get up from sitting on the floor without the aide of nearby furniture

I just realized that there is not enough room here to complete my list!

Good luck to us all!!

1. for my husband to wrap his arms completely comfortably around me

2. to not have to scout where I fit to sit on the train (i commute on public transportation to work)

3. shop in the regular sized section

4. for my son not to point at overweight women and call them "mama" (he's 2. it's happened a few times)

5. for my ankles to roll when I walk so I don't look like frankenstein when I walk.

6. cross my legs

7. fit in the tub with my husband

8. have a lap

9. to wear dresses

10. not sweat so much just by WALKING

11. to have people move out of the way when I'm walking. When i used to be thin, people used to move out of my way. Now that i take up a good portion of an aisle it seems i'm invisible.

12. For my joints not to hurt

13. To be able to fit into clothes from nice stores/boutiques

14. wear heels again. SO looking forward to this.

15.. To not be scared to try crossfit

16. indulge in Victoria's secret clothing/lingerie

      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.
