Dec 13th- 1 year Surgiversary!!



Recommended Posts

BEFORE & AFTER PICS!

100 pds down!!

Dec 13th 2016, I was heading to the hospital to undergo one of the biggest changes of my life and I felt nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Not having a lot of support to do the surgery didn’t concern me as much as disappoint, I was doing it for me not others so in the end only what I wanted truly mattered.

I came out of surgery with the worst nausea of my life and wondered if I did the right thing.

Out of the hospital 3 days later and started trying out this new way of life.

3 months in and 30 pounds down, I still slightly struggled with finding my perfect balance.

6 months out and 60 pounds down I felt way more in control and confidence in my new self.

12 months out and 95 pounds down I can’t remember what it’s like to live any differently. I’m sooo happy and I’m glad I made the decision to do this.

It’s definitely not the easy way out as some people feel. It’s hard work and dedication and absolutely worth every moment spent on becoming the best me!

I still feel insecure at times, due to others negativity, but that’s a work in progress and I’ll never give up.

      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.
