My Weight Loss Journey

Today, I’m 51 pounds lighter than I was when I started my weight loss journey in the beginning of 2016.

My story is not an instant overnight success. I did take so called magic diet pills and they did not work, try all the fad diets and achieved temporary results. After six years of up and down weigh lost and gain, I decided in March of 2016 to have Bariatric Surgery (the Sleeve). The best birthday gift I could have given myself (life). March was the beginning of this new exciting journey and in the process I changed my expected results and goals from a quick fix, and focus on healthy eating, working out, and dedication to using the tool that I have been given.

To sum it up, my weight loss journey over the last six years has been more like a never-ending roller coaster ride. Full of emotions, fad diets, diet pills, mistakes, inconsistencies, fail follow-through, pitfalls, and self-sabotage. Finally, I have reached a small milestone of success, a willingness to committee, and determination, which will eventually fulfil my weight loss goal. I am very happy that I made the decision to live. #healthy lifestyle #tone-body #an improved version of me #healthy mentally and spiritually.

      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?

      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.
