Which bit of your body are you rocking post sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I never imagined I could ever really like my body again. but post sleeve, I have fallen in love with my legs! I have worn a skirt for the first time in 2@+ years, knee boots and skinny jeans - and my legs look fab :-)

Which bit of you do you love now???

I used to HATE my fat arms so much that I would wear a cardi in the heat of summer to cover up my arms at all times. Now its all sleeveless baby!

Oh I hope a bunch of people post here! I'm at the stage where my stomach is deflating slowly but leaving behind unsightly folds and I'm not loving my body right now. Temporary I know, transitional, I get it, but sure would love to read about how it is later on. Your skirt post made me happy and gave me hope!

So feeling this. I am almost halfway to my goal and still am the fat girl in the room. I've been a slow loser and I know I need to be patient and all and remember that 70 lost is actually good but I too am encouraged by the hope that I may actually not hate parts of me anyway one day down this road.

I'm far from goal, but there are huge changes already.

My childhood nickname was Fish, because I loved swimming, and never wanted to get out of the water.........It's been years where I've felt comfortable enough to go swimming....never mind in public.......now I go all the time to the town pool..........I'm still large, the thighs are still a sight to behold LOL But it's all good.....my self esteem has improved so very much.

      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.
