The over whelming calm (100lbs lost)



Recommended Posts

I thought when I reached a hundred pounds lost I would be yelling from the roof tops. It is so much better then that!!!! I have a great sense of calm. I didn't even have to tell anyone for several days. I just was so happy. I think this is the best I have felt mentally since before I had the band done. Not to say things won't be rocky. I was so worried about getting here I was driving myself crazy. So to everyone on the journey.... ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!

All I can say is 'Wow'. That brought tears to my eyes because I can feel the excitement in your words and so long to feel that for myself.

What are you going to do to reward yourself?

      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.
