3 Goals met! So excited :)



Recommended Posts

Since surgery I have made mini goals for myself, nothing crazy but just things to look forward too I have accomplished 3 in recent days! 1. I wanted to spend less than $150.00 on clothes for the spring and summer. I bought size larges in the spring, they were a little snug but fit. I bought 5 simple dresses and 6 tee-shirts and I had some clothes that were too small for me. In the end I only spent $120.00 and made it through the summer although all the clothes are now too big on me. 2. I have been dying to be in a size medium, not sure why but this has been a goal. I swore to my husband while at target yesterday that there was absolutely no way the medium shirts would fit me. Sure enough they fit very comfortable....looking at them they seem so small I can't believe I fit into them!!! 3. This one is really kind of stupid but maybe you can relate. With all my weight issues I have found being near a mirror very offensive to me and anyone else who could see me. The Target that I frequent has the dreaded register 8 where there is a great big mirror that's right in front of you and you have to see yourself. I made the mistake of going in it once a few years ago and NEVER again! I didn't care I the line was empty and I had to wait behind 6 other customers at another register I would not go in aisle 8. Well last night I did it I checked out in aisle 8 and though I will admit I did my best not to look directly in the mirror I did make it through the cashier. Yes it's stupid and maybe even superficial but to me its an accomplishment. I hope everyone is enjoying reaching little and big milestones on this journey, the little things are worth celebrating!

We call them NSV's - Non scale Victories and yes, truly verily they are much more important that the scale will ever be.

      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.
