My collarbone is beautiful...



Recommended Posts

Yes, it's true. My collarbones have been missing for the better part of 15 years and now they are back and I find them, well...beautiful. It's funny how when you are heavy, you almost disassociate from your body. Your body is a thing wholly separate from your true self when it is heavy. I always felt like my heavy body had betrayed me and I had betrayed it.

But as I regain my old self, it's important to connect again. And part of that connection is finding little beautiful things about your body.

What do you now find beautiful about yourself?

I agree that we lose our bones. I have some collar bones and also hip bones. When I lay down there they are sticking out! I have shoulder blades and I can bend and reach them when I have an itch. I know it sounds strange but if you haven't been there you will never understand.

Does everyone have those?! :)

That's so cool. I remember reading something someone wrote, and I don't remember who or where, but they felt a bone for the first time and thought it was a tumor. It's a whole road of new experiences, right?

Congrats!

Nice collarbone! Mine is showing up as well. Funny, I had kind of forgotten about it.

      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.
