5 year surgiversary - say what?!



Recommended Posts

yep

that's right, you heard me :rolleyes:

it's been 5 years since i took that stretcher down the long hallway!!

hard to believe!!

life is soooo different before and after being sleeved

too many NSV's to shake a stick at

newbies et al, you'll be amazed with changes in your life

health issues improved, or are gone

that's the main reason i had WLS

the fact that i look like a hot sexy grammy doesn't hurt!!

losing weight has been one of the highlights of my life

i can't imagine my life today or tomorrow as a "heavier"" person

life didn't start once i reached GOAL

life began the first day at GOAL

also called MAINTENANCE !!!

one of the few things i still can't do??

leap tall building

i still can not touch my tongue to my nose

rub my new tummy , pat my head clockwise

chew gum standing on one foot

but.... still working on it!!!

most anything else i can do LOL

i have good, better, and a couple of "not so good times!!

life can't be fixed as a "thinner" person

comes pretty darn close!!

i used to be 5"3' - now i am 6" tall!!!

i was turning 58 years OLD DOS

5 years later - almost 63 years YOUNG!!

i continue to work with my sleeve daily

bringing me health, happiness, and success

life is good

      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.
