Milestones???



Recommended Posts

Hey Tens,

I was thinking we need a place to share all of our little milestones. Even though my scale does not want to move I had two moments today. The first was that I could not find anything to wear b/c all my day to day clothes were swallowing me, so i found a pair of pants from my smaller years and THEY FIT!!!!! :whoo: Then when I got to work multiple people began to say WOW you're slimming down.

What are your milestones????

that must have been a wonderful feeling. my first milestone was when a girl at work told me she could tell that i had lost weight and she said i look really good.

no one had said anything before...even when i was begging. my dh said that he thinks i lost all 12.whatever pounds in my face ...lol.

Wow, I have a few milestones. I've had a LOT of people tell me they see the weight loss. My clothes are all hanging on me, I'm ready to buy a few new pairs of pants in a smaller size. My bras are loose (bye bye girls!!!). I had a salad last night for dinner and was not hungry afterwards. The list goes on, but I don't have enough coffee in me yet to remember everything!!

My milestone is not being hungry. Finally I am getting used to it. I really went thru a time of thinking that I regret this surgery, how can I eat such small portions and have quality of life. But now that I am allowed to add normal food to the diet, I realize that I can still taste and enjoy everything, just small amounts chewed well. I am not mourning the lost food anymore. I can still go to a restaurant and enjoy the taste of my meal and then bring most of it home so I can enjoy it again (and again and again ...) Anyway, what freedom!

      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.
