AFTER HAVING MY SURGERY, I CAN'T WAIT TO___________



Recommended Posts

Wear my ex favorite size 7-8 pants that have been with me for 12 years! My husband keeps telling me every year to get rid of them but I vowed to wear them at least one more time...... They're not dry rotted either! Lol! I've taken great care of my Gloria Vanderbilt's

Sit in a chair with arms, and more importantly, get out of a chair with arms without having it hanging off my patookis when I try to stand up.

Run a marathon again! Be in the physical shape I used to be! Run run run and swim swim swim and look good while doing it and not be exhausted while waking less than a mile (like I had need for the past two years, when I gained all my weight)

You all have posted great ideas! I wish US the very best of luck in attaining OUR goals! No more taking breaks up a flight of stairs, not taking pictures at all taking face shots only or standing in the back (I'm 4"11!!!) cpap machines, hypertension and diabetes meds, seatbelt enhancers, afraid to go on vacations in fear of not fitting on airplane seats, on amusement park rides, shopping at exclusive stores such as The Avenue, Lane Bryant, Catherine's, Big & Tall, plus size area of any retail store! Here's to normal shopping and SAVING MONEY on everything including health care!

      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.
