Weight loss noticed by others



Recommended Posts

Today my hubby told me "you are looking so much skinnier" and that's at 11 days post-op!!!!! I'm excited! I can't wait to reach goal, even when I hit stalls, I will have to remember where I started. My highest weight was 337 a few months ago. I wanted to crawl under a rock! I haven't weighed since Monday, but even then I was 304. That's 33 pounds! Woohoo!

What a nice compliment!!!!!

I took pictures of myself along the way...I often refer back to those pictures because sometimes I lose sight of how far I've come, I get hung up on the scale. I put my "before" picture next to a current one and am always surprised! I also took my measurements. Sometimes, when the scale isn't moving, you can see other indicators.

Best of luck to you!

YOU just wait!!!!!!! It gets better and better and better..... And don't fret about the stalls, once you pass those minimal stall days, it continues to come down even faster!! Good Luck!!

I work out of town so only see my husband on weekends. When am I came home this past Friday, he kept telling me how good I look and how much weight I've lost. And he gave me bunches of kisses. Lol! It's only been a month since surgery but he says he sees a big difference. He is so sweet.

Exactly just you wait! in about a month or two, people will start to come to you and ask for your secrets to lose weight! lol

I had a sweet colleague giving me a bunch of compliment, she said now I look so healthy and active, even my skin is glowing! Additionally she told me that before how I looked tired and seemed to have difficulty to walk!!!

I took that as a compliment but It's kinda sad a little though, didn't reallize how I looked so unhealthy in other people's eyes.

      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.
