Sometimes I forget I'm not that big...



Recommended Posts

Losing weight so fast plays some serious mind-games with you...

Last night's one was really shocking (for me) yet funny:

My husband and I were laying in bed (this doesn't get dirty, sorry), and he was running his hand along my side and back. I could feel his hand going over lumps.

So I was like, "your hand's getting caught on my fat rolls."

Him- "um, no honey, those are your ribs.

MY RIBS!!!! LOL

Of course, I surely thought he was wrong and I kept putting my hand in the same spot where my back fat used to hang-- yep, ribs.

I look at my hands and wrists sometimes and think they don't belong to me. Downside - hands are starting to look wrinkly!

Shoes are too big now, plus I don't see that shoulder pad of fat hump thing so much anymore.

      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.
