Pictures Of Me

Fun pictures. Your dimples are so cute. I can really see the weight loss in your face. Take good care of your incision that isn't healing as well.

Those are good pictures, I have spent a lot of time online looking at others journey pictures. The one of you squeezing your upper arm made me laugh, I do that too when looking in the mirror! It's usually in disgust at myself, but now that I have the band, I'm hopeful I'll wave it goodbye, instead of it waving long after I've stopped moving!

I too had an allergic reaction on my abdomen and IV site hand, i'm not sure if it was the tape, or what ever they used to sterilize me pre-op.

I bought a small bottle of tea tree oil and massaged it on my whole stomach 2-3 times a day, and in a week it was all healed. It also helped my wounds heal nicely. It has antibiotic properties, and anti-viral properties. It doesn't burn, but it has kind of a strong medicinal smell. You can look into online and see if it's of interest to you. It cost me $12 for a small bottle at GNC (health & nutrition store)

Congrats on the weight loss, great smile and cute man!

      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.
