Hey there I’m 18 months out, and I am feeling blah , self conscious about my body. Being intimate with my partner is a challenge for me to participate in. He is a bit heavier then me and over the last 4 years embraced his dad bod . Well I focus on what I can change taking my Vitamins daily and staying active , trying new things , I went back to school. Before the surgery I would never have thought of going back to school. I’m sorry excited , life is precious and shouldn’t be wasted. I hang onto my routine when I do anything protien shake in my coffee, having protien , keeping my carbs and sugar limited. I just get so bored. Any advice also I have lost so much of my bottom, that sitting has become painful and uncomfortable. Any wisdom thanks

Do you have a hobby? Maybe find some activities or something that interest you to keep you busy. For me riding my jetski, Video games and fishing are the things i do to keep me busy and not bored.

Check your Thyroid, I remember a time in my life I felt like that. Very apathetic of everything. At the time, I had everything I wanted, moved to Hawaii after a winning a custody battle. I had the best job, that pay me to travel all over the Pacific Islands. The beach was my playground. I was so apathetic. Little I know I had tyroid issues. I discovered after a routine check up with a naturopath. Once I started the treatment, I came back to life. Never underestimate how annoying the endocrine system can be. Still in Hawaii, enjoying the beach and my new weight, as I Celebrate my 1 year anniversary of surgery this month 70 pounds less.

      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.
