Things Im Looking Forward To:



Recommended Posts

Am I crazy for saying this? Maybe, but I'm SO looking forward to working out and walking and going for jogs etc. I loved gym class as a kid and love going on walks. It's calming for me, just wish I could do it now without running out of breath and such

My surgery was 5/4/10. I looked forward to ding physical activities and being able to find clothes at normal stores. It was also nice too not worry about whether or not I would fit in a carnival ride

I haven't had my surgery yet, I'm waiting for insurance to approve it now! And then I might be switching doctors because I just moved across the state line into Wisconsin. It won't be for a few months but I'm lookin forward to big changes! Also theme park rides and not having to check or be nervous for whether or not I will be able to fit. It is very reassuring that I know the weight will come off and with following doctors orders it would stay off. I can't imagine myself thinner, so it's still processing mentally but it feels so great to finally begin my life as it should have been years ago!

I look forward to not being the fat friend and I'm looking forward to life and all that it holds for me since I've been avoiding life. Clothes is a big plus as well as working out and not being worried someone is laughing at me . People can and will be mean no matter what size but still it's how I feel .

Wow, girl, you took the words right out of my mouth! I hate being "the fat girl" with all my skinny gf's. I avoid many social situations, so that I don't feel people are laughing at me.

Did you all see the news anchor who told off that jerk about his nasty "fat hate" email? Now that made me cry! She rocked her response!

Yes I did see that but she held it all together so proud of that anchor woman. She said what she had to with class. Worm I hope you hear something soon I'm rooting for you. I get major anxiety at work when I do intakes with strangers going to malls movies dinner anything I am always thinking someone is laughing at me or watching me giggle by. It's hard I hope this ends . So this surgery is going to be my tool and ill be damned if I fail . I have hope and faith on my side to help.

      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.
