Noticing self more?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any of you are seeing yourself like you have not in a long time. I looked in my visor mirror in the car and was taken aback. I don't know if it is because my face in thinning now, but I could really see my features like I haven't in a long time. I think the chubbyness must really hide our features. I had almost forgot what I use to look like when thin. I am remembering as the pounds melt off.

OMG Carrot, check out your ticker! You're down 26 lbs already, I guess that post-op nausea really paid off, LOL! I too look in the mirror and already see a change in my face. I'm down a pants size already and it's only been under 2 weeks since banding for me. But my FACE is starting to look like me already! It's it a cool NSV (non scale victory?) POST your picture Carrot!!

I really notice my face thinning. I think all the weight I have lost so far is all from my face. Nothing left to fill out my wrinkles and under my chin is getting wrinkly as well. I guess a face lift is in my future (and my arms and my legs and my stomach and my breasts.... all lifted as well)

Lizzee- LOL! You really made me laugh. I sure hope I start to see some pointy things like cheekbones instead of just my nose! Ha!

26 pounds! That is totally fab Carrot! No wonder why you are noticing things. I still look pregnant...but not as pregnant. I went from 9 months 2 weeks ago to about 2 months pregnant today.:preggers: Carrot you are my inspiration.:high5:

I can't say I've really noticed anything, but my uncle who lives with me says he sees it alot in my face. That made me feel good that he noticed. DH says he feels it more than sees it. When he hugs me he says it feels like less to squeeze (yeah)!

I haven't noticed anything yet. I still see my sister looking back at me when I look in the mirror. She's always been bigger than me but as I got bigger I started to look like her. I can't wait to see my face again. LOL

Well done carrot. Keep up the good work. You're inspiring!

      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.
