What do you want to say that you can do 6 months after your surgery?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm so proud of my current weight loss and all I see and feel is all the things I couldn't do before now looking very possible...

I can stand with my feet together(touching)..always a challenge with huge thighs

I crossed my legs half way...looking forward to the full cross

I ran for a bus...like took off and left my husband standing in amazement!!

I ran as a workout instead of my normal brisk walk

I can pick my 16 year old up off the floor, she weighs 115

I want to be able to beat my husband in a foot race

I want to be a pro at Yoga, daughter got me started on intermediate level

I want to wear an all white form fitted dress

I want to sit on the bus and not take up so much of the seat that no one else wants to squeeze in

continue to add to the list...let me see what I haven't thought about....Thanks

I want to be able to go on vacation with my family and 1) ride on the airplane without worrying about if I fit in the seats 2) wear shorts to walk around in the summer heat 3) ride the park rides without any worry about getting kicked off. We are planning vacation almost exactly six months after I'm supposed to have surgery, so it's a pretty serious goal for me!

      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.
