Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

Wow! Congrats! Presurgery I had so much fear about telling people. I didn't know how they would feel or how I would feel about sharing this. Now it seems like the farther along I am the easier it is to say "I had the surgery." Hold your chin up high and know that you are a role model to so many others!

It's just weird, covers everything from being a fat kid to an abusive marriage, not your everyday insecurities :). I'm fine. It's just, well, weird.

It's really nice we can talk our share our feelings and not be judged usually just other giving thoughts and encouragement cause were all going though same ups and downs and ways of dealing with them and try to uplift each other I guess it easier to be more open on here even thought we deal with each other almost daily no one is looking at you

Last night we had a going away dinner for my brother (leaves Tuesday for Mississippi then about 6 weeks later for another 12 month tour in Afghanistan). My brother's best friends brother's jaw literally dropped when he realized who I was (it took a bit for him to place me). He spent the entire night either staring at me or trying to get next to me to talk...he complemented me on everything from my hair to my shoes and everything in between. It was hysterical! And extremely unnerving to get that kind of attention from a guy. This is so weird :D

So my six month anniversary is approaching -August 26th. I really want to be down 82 lbs .. I know weird amount.... Id be 178 and i just want to be out of the 180s.... So I decreased my Protein and exercise last week and plan to increase protein and exercise this week. Seems like its just getting harder to loose and for some reason I'm just not craving much food..... So wish me luck! I need to focus and at the same time my daughter a yummy humming bird cake for her birthday. ( no real humming birds lol) but I remember how it tastes... I'm really proud of myself... Not one piece of cake, candy or Cookies in 6 month!

      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.
