Excited to love myself again!



Recommended Posts

It's finally almost here! Surgery date is 2 weeks away on the 19th!! I am so nervous and excited at the same time!! All I have to do is go to my Preop and make sure i didn't gain any weight, my last test before the surgery!!! I cannot wait to feel good about myself again and have a whole new beginning!!! And just know how it feels to be comfortable in clothes for the first time ever!!!

about to start your new life :)

wonderful feeling :)

i'm sure, you know that you have a lot of hard work to do to lose weight

now you have been successful and at goal

life is good you are happy

no more work to do

NOT :huh:

actualllllly - life begins at maintenance :)

you have learned a new lifestyle

you need to follow all the many "rules" you've learned

for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

but............that 's ok

what a terrific life is in front of you :)

we've all lost the weight before, and before, and before and be....... ;)

then we've always ended up gaining, and gaining and gaining and gai............ :angry:

you will keep the weight off - as long as you........

continue the good habits you've learned while you were losing weight

you work with the sleeve/and the sleeve will work for you :)

you'll experience terrific new "firsts" :)

feeling healthier

getting rid of or improvement of certain co-morbidities (msp)

losing (decreasing meds)

walking better

able to be more and more active

ability to sit on a regular public toilet :)

leaving the handi-capped toilet for someone that really needs it

getting in and out of the car easier than before

trying on a new pair of pants - realizing they are too big

clothing sizes going down south

wrapping a bath towel around yourself after your shower :huh:

being unrecognizable by people since you've lost weight

those are just a few of the many, many new experiences you'll have

good luck with surgery in a couple of weeks

happy for YOU, that YOU are happy and excited

two weeks will be here before you know it

anticipation is fun too :)

      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.
