What made you smile today?



Recommended Posts

Today I stopped in to Starbucks. In my former life I was a SB junkie. I have stopped in once to say hello, but today I went in for an iced herbal tea.

said, Wow ! Look at those cheek bones! You are looking great!" Well, that is what made me smile.

Also, my pants and underwear are falling down!

That's great! I would love to join a gym but they are so expensive in my opinion. I would love to find a walking buddy.

Just saw my surgeon and he seemed a bit shocked with my weight loss.

Gotta love it! I lost weight on my own before and I was down to 159. I am a few inches taller than her and I really think she took offense that I was her exact weight.

I never said anything at the time, I guess she didn't like it that I was the same weight as she was.....

My surgeon said he ready to submit to my insurance, Humana, that made me happy. He said it takes about 2 weeks. Anyone else have Humana, and how did it go.

Sorry I don't know anything about Humana, but I think there is an Insurance forum on here.

Wow @@itsmekarenlee! I have actually had a dr apologize to me once as well. He did something that could have caused some for real issues.

      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.
