Starting to love myself again



Recommended Posts

Surgery date: 12/26/14

Height :5'2

Starting weight: 250lbs

Current weight: 188

Pre Pant Size: 20-22

Current Pant Size: A VERY loose 16 :)

I can't remember the last time I wore a size 16. I look in the mirror and cant remember the me 62lbs ago. I never want to see her again. I have more energy then ever before. I have an amazing amount of confidence. So grateful for surgery. And so proud of what I have accomplished already. I know I still have a long way to go, but I know I will get there :)

Well done! It is a great feeling when you start to see the weight loss in your sizes of clothing.

I used to absolutely hate shopping and avoided it like the plague. Now I love the fact that I can walk into any store and buy clothing. I do not have to shop at Lane Bryant any longer.

Woot Woot!

Congrats. You look great. Keep up the good work! Our stats

Are similar. I was also 250 at 5"3' I am 15 months post op and down to 142. 2 elusive lbs from my goal. I'm in a size 5. Waiting for a date for my panni. I have found myself and love for myself again. Don't know where it went but I'm glad to have that love and confidence back again.

You look great and I understand what you mean. Weight loss has been such a positive thing for me too. But you were beautiful in your before picture and you are beautiful now. Your smile is amazing! Embrace the changing you but always remember to love yourself no matter what.

      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.
