Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

I'm just as baffled. They told me they'd just check it at my 4-month appointment with all my other bloodwork. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense. Oh well. All's well that ends well?

Odd aside: I've lost a grand total of 2 pounds in the past month' date=' and yet in the last week or so people have been commenting on my weight loss again. Are their eyes just finally adjusting to what they're seeing? Am I wearing clothes (baggier or tighter) that are showing it off more? Or did it all just jiggle it's way around so that some parts of me suddenly look thinner?

I get compliments at the strangest times!!!!! I'm in the throws of frustration be because I've lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks and I hear !omg it's just falling off you now!!!! My theory is it takes time for it all to shift around. I had a day last week where I developed creek bones like over night....totally weird!!!

I get home from a 9 day vacation in the Florida keys tomorrow....longest I've been off a scale in forever. I can't decide what I'll see....eating out a lot, mostly seafood, mostly grilled but we have had our quick sandwich days too which are carb heavy but just had to grab and go sometimes.....also have walked and walked and walked, and swam, and snorkeled.....I think I'll be down a pound or two but we'll see Sunday! (Darn well better poop before then, the vacation has my bowels all messed up). Vacation withRNY was so much nicer than vacation with a fickle band!!!

Things I did that I'd never do before: wear a bathing suit all day,even shopping,no cover-up, wear a strapless sundress all day, wear a tank top with nothing over it.....and they all looked good :). It's been an awesome week.

Yay for cute clothes!!!!! I feel so weird shopping in the 'normal' section....also keep grabbing clothes that are too big. Brain hasn't grasp how much smaller my butt is yet I guess :)

I totally understand... I really don't know how to shop small. I was so happy not to have to buy some thing with sparked air flowers... That's what all the bigger clothes were like.. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just happy I had choices. Bought two really cute fitted tops' date=' black walking shorts (not capris) and a really cute robins egg fitted dress with a belt!!!

I just reread my last post... don't you love auto correct on your phone? instead of saying sparked air flowers i meant "buy clothes with sparkles or flowers". It just seemed like those use to be my only options other than yoga pants

      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.
