NSV..what I don't hear anymore...



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I was out with my wife and she drew my my attention to a man with a large belly.

She said, "That is just what you used to look like."

"Yes, and you used to constantly tell me to pull my jacked-up shirt back over my belly!" I said.

"You haven't bugged me about that in a long time!"

"Yes, I know!" she said with a big smile.

She didn't want me walking around with half a hairy belly sticking out, I didn't think I could help it.

The shirts I bought fit fine when I bought them, washed once they became belly shirts.

I literally walked around with both hands stretching the shirt down over the beach ball so I wouldn't get the needle from her.

Of course, she didn't like that either.

Now the silence is golden. I no longer own a shirt which instigates a Jerry Springer scene.

Too funny! I wish I couldnt relate. I was thinking the other day. (Im still wearing my fat guy work khakis) "Man these pants cover more of my shoes than they used too". My inflated butt made my trouser legs into floods!

The shortest distance between two points is NOT a semicircle!

      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.
