9 Months Out- Before And After Pics



Recommended Posts

I know how everyone loves before and after/ during pictures, I sure do.

First off, I would like to say that I started this journey for a baby. My husband has an extremely low sperm count and the only way for us to have a child was through IVF. I was denied because my BMI was 42.3 and I weighed 278lbs at 5' 8. I needed to be a BMI of 30 or lower before my doctor would look at me for IVF, (Invitro Fertilsazation) I am now at 27.8 at 183lbs. I don't care how much more I lose. I had a goal of 145lbs but don't care at this point. I am soooo happy at where I am, at this point. I get to start IVF in March. Unfortunately they found a Fibroid Tumor the size of a softball which will be surgically taken out on November 20th. I also don't care at this point about that tiny little obstacle on my journey. I am seeing a healthier me and a child in my future. I am not a 5/6 but a 9/10 and can't be more excited! I am happy and confident in myself and my future. To hear the little pitter patters of baby feet in my future is what makes me smile. Knowing that I can possibly have a healthy pregnancy and see my grand babies and hopefully great grand babies makes me smile :) I took this journey for a child but recently realized it was for myself as well.

SD- 2/11/2013 5'8 278lbs

Today- 183lbs :)

      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.
