Small victory four day before surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am still in my pre-op liquid diet phase and I have lost about 10lbs give or take a lb., and I noticed yesterday that one of my shirts fit a little different than usual. Since that's the shirt I took my pre-op pictures with I decided go wear it for comparison and holy cow! This one short that used to be so tight that used to bunch up at my waist and barely went down my butt is now not only loose but it also goes down my butt and HANGS over it! I don't think this has ever happened before!

But what's even better was the happy feeling I got from it. All of a sudden I found myself doing my haor, foxing my eyebrows and planning a night out with my husband and son. This is fantastic!

Dropping clothing sizes was one of the unexpected joys that I had after surgery. I didn't really realize how good that feeling was. Just wait until after you have the surgery. I went from a size 3X in shirts down to a size Small and from a size 46 in pants down to a size 32.

Hello

Wow fantastic!!! This is such a great feeling to experience and you will continue seeing all your progress. Take it slow and follow the guidelines for your phases of foods after you have Surgury. I do have to say that as you losing weight you will feel so much better and will gain more confidence and self esteem. I know I been through a lot with my Surgury and all I been through but it feels great to fit into clothes I wasn't able to for many years. Keep up the good work and wishing you the best. Keep me posted and we all here together to support each other. 😀

      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.
