Screaming from the Mountaintops - BYE BYE OBESITY!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited I can hardly believe it. :thumbup:

I got on the scale this morning, the day before my birthday, and what did I see???????? The magic number - 169!!!!!!

I can't believe it. I have officially left the BMI land of obesity and am only overweight. This is the best birthday present I have had in soooooo many years . . . . I am embarrassed to say.

It has been a bit of a struggle to get here, but I am sooooo incredibly, wonderfully, ecstatically happy.

:cool2::wub::tt2: :thumbup: lala la la la, I love my band, lala la la la :mellow: :tt2::wub::wub:

Heather:

Congratulations! I was so happy last month when I was no longer obese. It's these amazing milestones that keep me going.

Best wishes to both of us to get out of the overweight category on the bmi scale.< /p>

Congrats and take care.

      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.
