My first new dress since surgery



Recommended Posts

We have a wedding to go to this weekend. Opened the closet and realized all my dresses were way too big since my June 2015 surgery. So hit the mall. First was amazed I didn't have to shop in Womens section, so that was a change. Then decided I needed new shoes and tried on a pair of calf boots and they fit!!! Never have worn calf high heel boots.

You look great! I was sleeved in October and my clothes are hanging off of me. I don't want to buy anything yet. But the baggy butt hanging is so embarrassing. Happy Shopping!

Hubby is excited to be scheduled to have his surgery in January. He has been so supportive on my journey, so now time to return the love.

      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.
