I am so excited I have to share



Recommended Posts

So today was my biggest milestone yet...I think.

Today for the first time since the 1990's I am in a "normal" BMI range and not in the "overweight" or "obese" category!!!! YAY. I am not quite to goal but now I think I am in fine tune mode instead of drop drop drop mode. I am so excited.

Thanks to everyone who is on here and so supportive!

yeah about the wardrobe...so since I got laid off the funds I was going to use for new wardrobe went bye bye. Soon enough I will get some things that fit pretty awesome.

Thank you all for your well wishes...

Question...does anyone else have this feeling:

Sometimes if I am hungry and have a pretty empty stomach my port tends to be a little sore...but as soon as I eat that goes away...anyone else have that?

None.

Sorry!

I just know that when that happens, I'm REALLY hungry and I MUST go slow or I will get stuck. It's almost like I've waited too long to eat. Doesn't happen when I'm just getting hungry but when I'm really hungry. It's just strange.

      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.
