As I was bathing my shower tonight (NSV)



Recommended Posts

As i was bathing my shower tonight I was struck by an odd occuance. Everyone baths in a certin rythem, You start on side or at the top and works yur way around. I washed my cheast abd then starting to wash my belly. I reached down to pick up the skin that hangs over my bellow and stopped short. There was no skin! I was gone. No smaller but gone.

It was at that moment I began to cry because I was reaching yet another goal I thought would never come. I can see my belly button and run my had straight down my body. It feels unreal! It feels strange. My gooddess it feels amazing. My plastic surgery has changed my life along with my LapBand.

Let just me tell you out there in band land, the promised land is not too far away from any of us. We have taken the proper steps and are moving forward. Thank all of you who have believed in me as I too believe in all of you!

      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.
