I'm in a cross road .



Recommended Posts

I'm 215 Pounds my Heights is five-three I'm 42 yrs old I look like I'm in my early 30s . I don't look bad but I'm not at my best and I'm definitely not content with myself . I look in the mirror & I see who I don't want to see . I have 3 kids but the last 2 were back to back & I never lost the baby fat from the second that I was already in My third pregnancy. I use to weight 160 & I was content with that but now I'm 215 and I'm stuck at this & it's been a couple of weeks It's not easy I can't recognize who I am . Now in August 11th of 2016 I'm going in for a procedure I'm doing the sleeve this is where I'm at a cross road in my life what is a lady supposed to do when all this is So new and you don't know what to expect or what's the outcome is going to be . My biggest fear is losing 50 to 60 pounds losing it to fast is not a good thing but then the consequences is what I don't know how to face, being Flabby it's my nightmare & I'm sure I'm not alone ... I want garenteeds results & we all know thats not going to happen. My questions are once your lose the weight is there any way to tune up, to tighten your Flabby skin? & how long it would take ... Someone out there has to have been where I'm at . Who ever you are please help me get my head straight. My husband has heard me over & over again talk about this he is convinced it could be a good thing because this is what I wanted . But now the time is getting closer & I question myself is this what I want .

Well it will be 5 months for me on Sunday and the only loose skin I have is on my arms, but I knew that, my stomach currently is good, keeping close eyes on my thighs lots of cellulite. I am in the gym mostly 3 days a week I walk at least 6000 steps 5 days a week

And the goal is to add a cycling class in January

I started Water aerobics one month after surgery two days a week, added the 3rd day in October. .. my husband is very supportive and says in January we can start looking interviewing a plastic surgeon if I want for my arms etc... just stay prayful, I really grateful I'm getting control of my health and may just let it be instead of trying to look perfect for who... I knew I was gorgeous at 200+ pounds. .so why can't I think I'm better now and will be good at my goal sagging arms thighs or whatever I'll just buy spanks for special occasions lol!!!

      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.
