What was the straw that broke the camel's back for you?



Recommended Posts

OMG huge (pun intended) :) Harry potter fan..planning on making the pilgrimage this summer. If that doesn't motivate me nothing will!!!!

Sucky thing is, obviously overweight people aren't getting on that ride, but it is also your body SHAPE. I am tall and very hippy plus the never go away gut after a kid. The seat is like a child car set. hard plastic frame around your thighs, a piece between your legs, tight on shoulder, then, then the chest bar that comes down. There wasn't anywhere for my fat to swish to! A LOT of people where having issues with it. I think they need a car that is for larger people. But a family of Tomato people got off the ride after me. All chins and chests and they got to ride. I didn't tell my friends that I didn't get on, I told them it was great (which it was). Sucked though..2 hour wait for nada..

My straws started about 6yrs ago...I had my second child at 30 and found it hard for the weight to fall off. In my 20s, i'd be able to work out when I wanted to and it would fall off...then at 34 I had twins! The weight was like, "nope, we're going to gain with the babies!" Then last january I had knee surgery, my body was not made to hold this weight! Now that the twins are mobile...very mobile in diffrent directions, I need to be able to out run them...lol!

      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.
