Should I keep this to myself?



Recommended Posts

The only thing that can stop me right now is my insurance!! I want this more than anything and I love all of you that have your weight loss banners and date you were banned, it gives me so much hope!!

I went out last night with a bunch of friends including my bypass friend that was 270, now a size 6 and looking at the pictures of me, I look like I ate a few guest. I am so tired of hiding from the camera or dressing so covered up while everyone is so dressed up and loving the camera. That will be me one day too.

I have to do this, I was so sick over the pics and then had to go out and of course stoped at Wendy's :lol: that me, that's my life and no I didn't get a salad!!

Thank you so much for your comments. I don't care who knows I just hate the remarks about how they just know I can do it if I really tired, if I really tried???? OK, those people do know me and how can they say that to me?? I told them at work the other day that I need their support and if they had to fake it, then fake it. They are worried about the danger of it, I told them they should know me by now, I have been reading these boards since Feb., reading everything I can, asking questions, I wouldn't just jump on the operating table.

Thanks everyone

I tell everyone about my band...even strangers. :lol:

I haven't had problems with negativity. A few people thought I could do it on my own, but after a while they became excited to see me dropping the pounds and one is even interested in the surgery now.

      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.
