NSV I finally see myself as changing!



Recommended Posts

I am down 43lbs 211-168 in 3 months...day to day I struggle to see changes! My belly is not changing but everywhere else is, this is depressing bc while I am down a size or two I could be down more if I was proportionate! This leads me to feel like I'm stuck! I have been stalled for a few weeks losing very little(maybe 1-2lbs) but today I had an AHA moment when I saw this selfie! I have another 55lbs to lose but hurray for changes even if it's just my face :P

you wait.. you think you're disproportionate and then the next day BOOM! You've dropped inches on the bit you thought was bigger than the rest. I've found the whole process (and I am far from completing it), most amusing!

Enjoy! You're looking great :)

Thanks guys it's so exciting!! I'm amidst a rough patch in life my Aunt was very sick and I was able to fly up from VA to NH to spend some awesome time with her a few weeks ago and she was doing great, getting around, I even got to color her hair, my Mom left a few days later than me and she was doing even better then, but sadly 5 days later she took a bad turn and she passed away last Saturday! We are back in Nh for the services(yesterday and today) and ironically I was taking the pic to show a friend that figures my hair came out good amidst a blizzard which would kill it for sure lol! But anywho it's been an emotional and physically exhausting month, I'm looking forward to getting back home and putting my concentration back into things and actually just got released to go to the gym again(I had an enlarged spleen, still do) I wouldn't trade this craziness for the world tho, I got spend time with someone who meant the world to me and I know she was proud of my weight loss when she saw me last! Thanks again for the kind words I can't wait for the belly fat to go, bc I am sick of IT!

Sorry about your loss. It is great that you got to be with her.

Belly fat acts like it can't be beaten. Reminds me of Clubber Lang in the Rocky movies. Down he went and down goes belly fat..8,9,10....Yo, Adrian...I did it!

      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.
