Day after tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Tuesday and I can't be more excited. And what makes it so much better is that my church family is noticing my loss already and I'm only 20 pounds down. This makes me believe more that I'm doing the right thing! Oh.....and my daddy noticed it too...he thought it was just my outfit today but its not! Lol!!!

You are doing the right thing. The first couple of months are the best. You melt like a snowman in July.

EEEEEkkkkk :blink:

we are NEVER supposed to say the word only referring to our weight loss :huh:

20 lbs is really great :)

but if you ONLY lost 1lb

that is terrific too :unsure:

never minimize your weight loss :wacko:

20 lbs or 1 lb

both are wonderful :)

nice that people are already noticing :)

good luck tuesday :)

speedy recovery :)

@@proudgrammy You are absolutely right!! 1 pound or 20 pounds, it's less than it was and any progress in that direction is a big deal!

I have been wanting to tell you, thanks for always being so inspirational and funny and for helping us to keep things in perspective....for being so real!!! :)

Congratulations and speedy recovery! Remember for some, the first few days, weeks and even months are not the best but it will be worth it in the end. Never doubt that.

I wish you the best procedure, recovery and journey possible!

      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.
