Update on my weight and stuff



Recommended Posts

Hey guys just back for a quick update for those who don't know my story. I started my journey on January 2014 I was weighing in at 410 pounds. I had to lose at least 50 pounds for surgery. My surgery was December 2014 I weighed 347 that night, now today I am 250 that's a total of 160 pounds. I went from not wearing jeans to fitting a size 16 which is still big but man what a difference. Personally I always give myself little goals because with such great changes I like to keep it simple at least that part. My next weight goal is 240 I've worked so hard and I feel so blessed and this was the best decision I ever made for myself I mean ever. I'm finding myself and learning how to love myself again. It feels good to go shopping again. It feels great to fit into things and even more it feels good to love myself again. For anyone out there this won't be a easy thing to do but definitely worth it I promise. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are doing fantastic! Awesome to hear how your setting realistic goals for yourself. Isn't it great to look forward to shopping rather than dreading it? Do you also find that you don't mind mirrors anymore? That was one of the things I have noticed recently. ????

      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.
