It's been a whole year now, where did the time go?!?



Recommended Posts

It's been a whole year since I took control of my life and had RNY gastric bypass. I've had ups and downs and physical delay after delay(chronic Lupus flares, swollen joints, torn rotator cuff, loss of ability to use my right arm, etc), but here we are! It's been one year and I don't regret it for one moment! I am not where I want to be YET, but I will get there. Here are my stats: hw:429lbs sw:386 cw:220lbspost-258512-14794773327168_thumb.jpg

You know you're fabulous, right? Oh how I love these before and after pics. It's not just the weight loss, but the smile on your face, the haircut, the makeup...all of it. How wonderful to see in all of us, the blossoming that comes from being comfortable in our own skin. Congrats.

Thank you all. When I first started out on this path I didn't believe I'd really make it to this point. Honestly I thought if I could just get below 300, I'd be happy. What I have gotten back this year has been amazing! You get out of it what you truly put into it and I plan to keep on chugging with my many hurdles til I reach that final goal line. I can see it's possible now and I want people to know that it really can happen and will happen, but you have to get up and put up the fight every day even when you are sick or injured or depressed. It's hard and when you backslide to a bad habit you need to pick yourself up, give yourself a scolding, and get back on the right track. I got more bad medical news yesterday afternoon about my heart and my autoimmune diseases being more aggressive than we would want, but I'm fighting to stay "sober" and stay on my plan and keep chugging forward. You may never be a size 2, honestly at 5'9 it's just not reasonable for some of us, but you can be so close to your goal a year from when you start...just start and see it through! ❤️ I went from a 34w/36w to a size 12/14 in one year!!!!!!

      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.
