What I Gained From Losing...



Recommended Posts

30 Pounds

For the first time in more than 8 months I can finally put on my wedding ring again... :smile: I think it was to the point that my DH thought I just didn't want to wear it anymore... Though he knew I was overweight I guess it never dawned on him that it was a "can't" as opposed to a "don't want to".

So what do all of you feel like you have gained since losing?

35 Lbs down and so far I know I am gaining my life back from loosing.. each pound I gain a little bit more pride in myself.. I gain the knowledge of a future with my husband, son, and family.. I get to look forward to getting on a plane and NOT asking for a seat belt extender or getting to go to a hockey game and not worrying if my butt will fit in the seat.. again I AM GAINING MY WHOLE NEW adventureos and healthy life...

I've gained some peace of mind to know that I will never have to watch the scale go up again.... And on an odd note, I lost my wedding ring.... My husband had it in his pocket while I was in surgery. I had to stay at the hospital and he somehow lost it from his pocket........... It broke my heart as I had the most beautiful diamond band..... It was perfect and expensive. We looked everywhere, but it is just gone... and no insurance when it was lost... So I'm waiting to get a bit thinner to get a new one. My husband would give me the world if I asked... So I have to be careful what I ask for... :smile:

AH heck Mrs Bubba.. Ask for the world :smile: My husband is the same way.. But I am just like you.. I will keep waiting until I find just the right one ... Mine are to big for me right now, but I still wear them.. I have to have something on my ring finger I am so used to it being there..Good Luck and best wishes..

Men can be turds.. But you know we love living with them so we have someone to pick on :biggrin: I am so happy you can wear.. prob only for a month or so and then you will have to get it sized down because your fingers will be skinnier :biggrin:

      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.
