Recommended Posts

everytime I step on the scale I cant see it... everytime I look in the mirror i can see it... Yes im down 33 pounds.. and cant feel it, see it.. nothing... So I was at a size 32 i was sick of wear shorts that looked like i was wearing a shirt.. so I tried my size 28's on.. (for size) lol.... and OMG they went on and even more exciting... they buttoned and zipped up.... whats crazy about that...

I still want to think of myself as worthless... just tonight im to happy to even think of that.

I just had to share with someone.. and after i told my hubby.. you all were the next on my list... by the way He said " i bet your sexy in those smaller shorts" hahahahaha i told him I will shake it for him when he gets home LOL

Trish,

Go to the grocery store and find a big old 5lb brisket with lots of fat. Then put that plus 5 more in your cart. Then stare at it and realize that all of that is gone forever from your body. It's enough to make you giggle out loud.

That's what I do when I feel like my progress is slow.

Take care.

Hey Trish - Congratulations!!

I struggle with some of those self confidence issues myself, as I'm sure, many of us here do. I often find myself looking in the mirror and trying to poke my stomach in, or looking in the mirror and going, "Yuck!!". I've wondered many a time what my husband sees in me. Hopefully one day, my self image will become a bit better. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn how to love me.

Well done on your accomplishment. Wear those 28's with pride, until they fall off and you have to trade them in on something even smaller :)

      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.
