Anyone weigh 302? Here is what's in store for you!



Recommended Posts

Ten months ago I weighed 302. Yes, 302. I was so blue.

My life was small and getting worse. Obesity was my lifelong curse.

I had a dream. A dream to live. It asked for all my strength to give.

I mustered strength and all my will. Every requirement I would fill.

I got my LapBand and then began

My new life of not "can't", but "can".

I can, I said, and walked a mile. You've never seen a bigger smile.

I can, I said, and rode a horse. "The hour trail?" I said, "Of course!"

A trip to Italy, climbing hills. My new endurance gave me chills.

A bubble bath is a luxury that once was for everyone else but me.

An airplane ride with a regular belt. I can't describe how good that felt.

The movie seats used to squish my hips. Now the room I have brings a grin to my lips.

My larger clothes become someone's prize as I donate them for a smaller size.

My dozen meds have gone away. One pill and a Vitamin today.

Arthritis pain controlled me so. I am so glad to see that go.

A hundred pounds have waved goodbye. There really is no better high.

Fifty more to get to goal. Not stopping now. I'm on a roll!

So if you're starting out, don't fear. This all can be in your new year!

Have faith, believe, work hard, and give

Yourself the best of gifts -- to LIVE!

      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.
