Had a life changing experience today.



Recommended Posts

The past week has been very hard for me. I stopped losing weight and I was worried I wouldn't lose anymore. So long story short I got very depressed which I have had problems with depression. Well today I was on the highway and four cars in front of me wrecked and two of the cars came sliding towards me and some how I moved just the right way. Honestly I have no idea how I did it and the way the cars were coming my car would have flipped over a bridge. ( no one was injured) but I had the realization that life is precious and I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery and I have a lifetime left.

Glad to hear you are okay. But I have to say, that's the most extreme thing I've ever heard someone do to brake a stall! I've changed up my eating and exercise, but never thought to try scaring the crap out of myself to kick-start my weight loss. B)

Thank God no one was injured. Noooo depression don't live here no more. I have read everyone's weight stalls around week 2 or 3 or later, its the body adjusting. Ho much are u down so far?

Good luck, u got this.

realization that life is precious

@@SydneySweetHeart

its amazing how things can be put into perspective :)

feeling depresssed/possibly sorry for yourself (most of us have been their)

having your life flash in front of your eyes

helps you realize what is really important in life

you/we DO have our lives in front of us :)

its what we do with our time :unsure:

you/we have all made the wise decision to have the sleeve (or any other WLS) :)

now you/we're moving forward :)

to living a healthier, happier, longer life :)

pre-op and post op down 48 lbs!!!!!

woo hoo :)

keep up the good job (I know you will ;) )

kathy

congrats

      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.
