2016 new year new me



Recommended Posts

Went to my appointment the other day & I lost another 10lbs. Which brings me a total of 45 so far. I'm so excited people just don't know. I see the weight coming off & I can't be more happier with myself. I'm finally doing something for me that's gonna help me with my 3 kids. I'm be the mother outside playing with my kids. January 2016 when I get my surgery I'm going in a the old me coming out as a new me. Gotta do it for myself & kids

That's awesome, but I think with this outlook you are already a new you well ahead of 2016 and you'll be going both in and out of the OR as a transformed individual. We can become healthier both physically and mentally long before we lose a single pound. Congratulations!

Hello,

I'm in the same situation I also have 3 kids the 1st one 16 the other 2 r 6 in December. I had them at 41 very bless twins. I just hate the weight I can't do as much as I want with them. A few health issues to. I'm scheduled 4-5-2016 insurance requires 6 months. So u loss some weight before the surgery that's awesome. Im trying but they said if I get below the bmi it would b canceled because of insurance requirements. Best of luck to and your children!!

      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.
