2 Month Post Op With Pics



Recommended Posts

So I was feeling kind of discouraged today and decided to go back through my blog looking for a picture I took about 1/2 way through my pre-op requirement process. It was at my highest weight (same as I was on day of surgery on 9/12) and I just happened to catch a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror at work and thought, "I better get a picture of this because i want to remember how terrible I look". When I found it today I put it side by side with my 2 month post op pic (taken 11/12) and I was stunned at the difference. I am still not where i want or need to be, but I'm feeling better about myself today! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

No, no,no... I am TOTALLY happy! It's just hard when you see yourself everyday...you know? I still see the very same person in the mirror most of the times. Sometimes it takes putting the pics side by side to remind myself of how far I've come. :-)

      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.
