Recommended Posts

Today I went shopping, I couldn't believe how much better clothes fit! I was able to wear a size 10 (stretch) jeans.

My other huge notice is I'm able to sit on the floor without pain! When I clip my dogs hair it was so hard, now I can't complain! !!

My first was being able to reach my own toes to paint them and still be able to breathe while doing it. That was last August. Now I could suck my own toes, if I was weird enough to want to (which I'm not:-p)! Lol

This is kind of a weird one, I'm only 4 weeks out, but the other day while I was waiting for the shower to warm up I was looking at my back in the mirror. I have a giant birthmark in the middle of my lower back and I could actually see it while looking over my shoulder in the mirror. I've never really tried to look for it before, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't actually see it before.

      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.
