Recommended Posts

Ok so we are always talking about our dates, pre-op diets etc etc that I needed a break for just a minute.

So fill in the blank..

I'll be glad when I can........

It can be anything from fitting into your favorite sz 10 jeans to finally getting to ride the roller coaster....comfortably.

Let's share and have fun with this.

So

I'll be glad when I can........

Great thread idea!!! I've got quite a list!

I'll be glad when I can...

  • not worry about weight limits on rides
  • shop in the regular section
  • cross my legs in a lady-like fashion
  • sit in any chair comfortably
  • wear my beautiful rings again (without getting them upsized)
  • tie my shoes comfortably
  • see my collar bones
  • wrap up in a regular sized towel
  • walk up a flight of stairs without being winded
  • see my "cat" without a mirror (I know...TMI):smile:

Can't wait to read y'alls. I'm sure you'll make me think of other things to add to my list!

I think all mine are taken.

...when I hit ONEderland.

...when I don't have to buy plus sizes.

...when I can buy a pretty bra, not a big bra.

...when I can decide what to wear based on what is pretty, not what covers the fat the best.

...when I am FIT instead of FAT.:thumbup:

~ Run around the park with my nieces and nephews for more than 5 mins at a time

This is such a great thread!!!

I'll be glad when I can get changed at the gym and not hide in the bathroom stall.

Go to an amusement park with my kids.

Stop checking to see if I am the fattest person in the room.

of course wear CUTE clothes not just what covers me up best.

      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.
