pics update Feb 23, 2018



Recommended Posts

I've hit a gain/stal for about a week and a half. I was 291, then 289 (1 week or so ago) then miraculously went up to 293..
I should be used to this by now- I know
Anyway, yesterday, Feb 22, I weighed 287. Whew. But the picture my friend took aren't a good illustration of this win
You know that feeling when you are at your lowest weight so far, and yet, you look BIGGER in this pic than ones 20 pounds heavier?

But Authenticity is the commitment to be real, even when it makes you cringe inside, right?
So...
First picture was Feb 21, 2018
Second picture was today Feb 23

I hate the way I look but I want to be genuine in this journey
and.. While I know I probably sound hypocritical as I always preach that it's on the inside that counts and spend so much time talking about the heart, I am a lot like everyone else. I am cruel to my own self, while I think the world of others. (you all) It's true. I am where I am though and I am content to be me . So no worries

p.s. I have grown though. Anyone close to me could tell you. I would have never posted a full body pic of myself. That's why for years you've only seen face shots.. Be gentle on me. I'm on a pride makeover as well'

      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.
