Gaunt and an Amazon, really!



Recommended Posts

RJ,

I wish I could say I am surprised that your friend did this to you. I have a friend who has been heavy for most of her life and right now she weighs less than me and has made a couple comments to me that surprised me. I have been friends with her for over 20 years and hope that it won't ruin our friendship.

Also, I tried to find a picture of a gaunt Amazon and couldn't find one. If you can't find it on the internet, then it doesn't exist and can't be true. :lol:

Too funny..I would have hated if you had found it and it was my photo...lol..

When I went to my sleeve seminar before surgery I asked the beautiful successful lady there how her friends reacted to her losing all her weight...She looked me right in the eye and said "they are all b*****s." I was not surprised by her comment as much as everybody else was...

i have been skinny before granted for a short time in my life but it was not easy then and I don't expect it to be easy now..........

She was nice about it today when she had tea with me this afternoon....who knows maybe she will rethink her position on the topic!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
