B-day June 25th!



Recommended Posts

I have confirmed my date for June 25th and I'm mixed emotional. Part of me is excited, part of me is afraid. If I hear "why" I'm more time I think I will scream. No one needs to know, but me. I have my reason I want to keep it off. I have yo yo'd long enough. Don't they realize that is bad for your heart. I love me, more than anyone else. It is time to start being just that. I'm excited about next year, where I will be physically, mentally, and spiritually. I'm looking for a personal trainer, within my budget who will be in it for the long haul. Won't insult my intelligence. My children have began lifestyle changes at home. Its best for all of us. I must be the example for others to follow. I will. Here on this day I start MY journey. It's my time, I plan on walking into my season.

A Season for Everything

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up....

-- Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3 (KJV)

Good luck to you! You're going to do great since you're already searching for a trainer...and I'm glad to hear you're trying to change the family's bad habits, too!

Try not to focus on the scary aspects and concentrate on making your recovery as EASY and stress-free as possible.

BTW, I didn't tell hardly anyone either--I waited until people started noticing the weight loss to tell them. It's fun to see their reaction.

      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.
