She didn't recognize the old me



Recommended Posts

The below picture is what I looked like at my highest of 418 and where I am as of last night at 219. I showed this picture to my 3 year old daughter last night and asked her who the guy on the left is. Naturally she said "thats daddy". I asked her who is the guy on the right and she said "I dunno who is it?" She genuinely did not recognize that as me.

Folks that right there is why I had this surgery. I did not want my daughter to know the fat unhealthy me. And guess what I accomplished it. This was a huge win for me in this journey and it mad me very happy.

many say one reason to have the WLS is to be healthy and enjoy the kids

you have been totally successful

3 year old daughter didn't recognize you----ahhh, that must have been a strange/weird/wonderful feeling :)

hijack alert - when my grandkids saw me last year after i had lost all my weight -they were amazed- but they did remember the old grammy - now they saw me, and were amazed, loved it :)

so happy for you :)

keep up the good job

for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

Great job! My 7 y/o used to always think of stuff he and I could do together but he'd say "when you get rid of your belly". (he knew I was trying to lose weight). That broke my heart over and over. So now we're going to go crazy this summer with all the stuff he wants to do!

Nice fish. You do any bassin?

That will be great for you and your son and I am sure you will both cherish those moments!

I have not been Bass fishing in forever. Mostly have done salt Water fishing. A few years ago I went on a guided trip for Yellow Fin and that sorta ruined me for most other fishing. It was unreal! I want to go again now that I have lost weight because I was wrecked after catching 2 of those things.

      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.
