A picture is worth 1,000 words



Recommended Posts

My son had a sleepover last night so I decided to take these crazy lil ones on a nice walk. My son snapped an impromptu pic of me and I almost started bawling! I could not believe my eyes. Who was this woman in this picture?! She certainly cannot be me?! Don't cameras add 10 pounds?! How on earth could I possibly look so lean and fit?! Tears of joy! Screaming with happiness. We're our own worst enemy! Finally the outside is starting to match the inside.

I hope I look anywhere NEAR that good when I get to 8 mos post-op! BTW, my start and goal weights are very similar to yours, and I'm 5'3" tall ... but I think you're a we-e-e-e-e bit younger than my 60 years.

And you're even in the DFW area - another thing in common! Who did your surgery? Dr. Jeffrey Henke did my sleeve at Medical City Dallas Hospital.

      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.
