I've swapped addictions...



Recommended Posts

It use to be eating....now I am addicted to touching my collarbones. Literally, I could touch them all day long...

I read about this in People...although I think shopping would be more fun!!!:eek:

LOL. I haven't seen much of my collar bones yet.

I like to lay in bed and pinch my belly roll and visulalize how much closer together my fingertips are getting. NurseAmys tummy photos are really inspiring me. I also like to touch my port as a reminder that it is working quietly at its job. I ask other people if they want to touch it, too. OMG.

Rainer, I used to do exactly the same thing!! I'd be sitting at my desk, absentmindedly drumming a beat along my collarbones. You are not alone!

You could feel your collarbones AND shop. Now that's an addiction! Shop only for clothes that show off your collarbones!

My new addiction is wearing my too-loose jeans waiting for people to comment on them, then saying "Oh, I know, I need a smaller pair!"

OMG... I am so laughing my butt off! I'm doing the SAME THING! Not only that but I've also discovered that I have shoulder bones and when I lay on my side I have hip bones! Amazing things!!! Oh, and my knees are making an appearance also!!!!

My DH was standing behind me earlier today and was massaging my shoulders and he made a comment that it's not as easy to do anymore because I have all these new bones showing up. LOL I loved it! Imagine... at only 37 pounds... what will it be like at 67????

I haven't lost much, but my husband swears my rear is getting smaller and seemed somewhat upset about it. LOL...

I'm addicted to playing with my incision steri strip tape... It's been a week now (tomorrow) and I just want this sticky crap off me.. My incisions look sealed up pretty good, so I keep pealing little by little back. My hubby has to keep telling me to leave them alone.

I'm addicted to touching my ribs. When I lay down, I can feel them and I could never feel them before. Even though I can only feel them when I'm lying down, I love to touch them. It's a start, right?

Hehe, I posted this last week in the 20's area. My collarbones are a new fascination for me too. I am always touching them and looking at them in the mirror.

Hip bones for me... I can only feel them when I'm laying down on my side but I'll just lay there and keep rubbing them. I really can't believe it sometimes. I haven't felt my bones since high school!

I can't see my collar bones yet, but I lost a lot of weight in my face and neck. I am amazed at the disappearance of my double chin. I constantly touch my chin expecting it to reappear and it never does!!! I can feel my jaw bones, my shoulder bones and my wrist bones. It's amazing. Even my 23 year old son came up to me in the kitchen last night and said, Wow Mom, I think your forearms are the same size mine are! where did they go so fast? I just wanted to hug him!

      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.
