skinny friends don't get it!



Recommended Posts

I thought I was imagining things, but I too think that people who have always been skinny never get weight loss and how hard it can be. Luck for me I have a really supportive family and one of my best mates who has lost a lot of weight so know what its like.

I too have friends like that. I am really close with my friends family and they are always saying can't you just watch what you eat? Well if I could contol myself 24/7 would I look like this? I feel like saying thats a stupid question. And its always the skinny ones. My friend is skinny and she was like I know how you feel I was fat when I was younger. 1st of all she was young and she was chubby at best. She tells me can't you just eat what you want but in small portions? Yeah in theory I suppose I do but it almost never happens. I eat fairly healthy. I swear I could eat just lettuce and stay fat. Finally we were talking about my wanting surgery and she was finally starting to think in a different way. She said well I guess your right you do have genetics playing a roll. She eats what she wants and stays thin so she couldn't possibly get it even though she thinks she does. I think what made her different view was because I was trying to educate her on it. And I told her that chances are if I diet alone I may lose some but will never lose all and it would be a constant yo yo as it has in the past. I have a bad back I've had surgery and my back can hardly carry me around and I want kids and to live life like everyone else gets too with out worrying about wether or not people are judging me and staring at me and giving dirty looks. I don't know about you but I have this thing when I grocery shop I feel like people judge me by looking at whats in my cart. Its always healthy things but I feel like by the way they look that they are thinking they were going to find 6 boxes of twinkies and 2 gallons of ice cream just because I'm fat.

      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.
