Unrealistic Ideals



Recommended Posts

I have the same issue with my jeans tight in the waist sagging in the butt. But I guess thats a good thing. It's funny you mention your nephew's comment cause my son told my husband to go to the store and buy me a pair of new pants to wear home from the hospital (he overheard me saying I wanted to lose 100 lbs.) apparenty he was afraid I was coming home like that and wouldn't have any pants that fit right. He told me he didn't want my pants to fall off in public.... I laughed so hard I thought I blew a stitch. Gotta love em

Afraid of being a quack was the reason I didn't tell anyone but my family.

A few have mentioned that my face looks slimmer, but that's about it. Now, if only my body would cooperate and drop some weight.. that would be divine!!!

It so nice to know that I'm not alone..

Huggles :smile:

I called my Dr this weekend because I was getting stressed out about not losing ANYTHING. he told me not to worry about it right now. to think more about eatting enough Protein then the other foods and making sure I was not drinking while I was eatting.

I hear ya! Going through the same thing. Even though I finally reached the 260's today, it is still in my head, I'll be fat FOREVER.

(((hugs))). I'm quite sure all of the successful bandsters have gone through the same feelings.

Have you all taken your measurements? Bet you find that you have lost inches all over. My weight isn't dropping as fast as I would like, but my favourite shirt pre-op (which fit just right) now needs to be taken in by 3 inches on each side seam:biggrin:

I think we need to start looking at our NSV's instead of the scales.

I need a fill I'm hungry and am eating the wrong foods. I think I'm in a funk. I was trying and trying I cannot get out of the 250's and that was my main goal I started at 286 and down to 253-256 depends on which d!*@m day. I don't go for my fill until Feb. 11th. I can't put into words how frustrated I am!!!!!

      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.
