The right decision



Recommended Posts

This morning I went off to have my blood work done prior to surgery tomorrow and decided to get something to wear to dinner tonight(I’m watching them eat, lol), the BF and I are going out with his friend and wife and wanted to look good.

I tried on multiple options and the staff in one of the stores saw how this shopping trip affected my mood and they started pulling options for me. Needless to say I walked out with nothing, only a new pair of morning slippers for the hospital.

While walking up catch a taxi I couldn’t be more grateful that tomorrow would be the start of the new me. I vowed not to buy anything until the new year because I never want to feel the way I did today.

I tried on the clothes in the store which I never do because I avoid the dreaded lighting which shows all flaws but today while looking at myself I took a look at the last fat me. I can’t wait for the new me.

I have made the right decision

Hi Everyone, all went well with my surgery and I’m back to work already. I have not not weighed myself since my Drs visit(I’m one that’s jumps on the scale every morning), I just don’t have the desire to. I think I’m scared of being disappointed

Great to hear! Glad all has gone well for you. Congrats on your new journey.
Don't be afraid of disappointment. I am on my scale daily. I'm almost 4 weeks out and have lost 35lbs 28 of it after surgery. I had a few days of no loss and it picked up quick. While in the "stall" I actually lost inches vs weight. Good luck keep us posted!

Wow! Congrats on your loss, that’s an amazing amount lost. I think I’m going to bite the bullet and weigh on Friday, it would be 8 days postop then.

      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.
