I am planning a really fun and active summer. More active than any in recent memory. I just never had the energy before. I am registered for several 5K races; trips to the beach; and biking on local trails.

I am thinking about doing a sprint triathlon in September...trying to work up the nerve to register! :biggrin:

If I do it, then I need to start the training program this summer.

Oooo! I guess i'm on the other side of the fence. don't get me wrong I love the weightloss and can do so much more but i'm more of a spring or fall kinda girl when it comes to dressing because of all the loose skin on my inner thighs I have been trying to figure out ways to enjoy all the boating we do plus all the time I spend in the pool without showing them off. I don't so much care what everyone else thinks but I do care how it makes me feel. They look like mud flaps on a semi. (NOT GOOD) so I really love how I look in clothes but not to big on showing skin. Doing alot of wraps this year. one to match every swimsuit.

I am sooooo looking forward to this summer! :redface: In a mere three weeks, I will be on vacation for the summer (teacher here). I got banded right after school was out last year and spent last summer learning how to live as a banded person, helping my best friend through her band surgery and the unexpected death of her mother, and the death of my uncle. It was a summer of highs and lows.

This summer, I am spending a week with my family in Nags Head, NC. We haven't been on a family vacation in several years due to work schedules, health issues, etc. The only bummer about the trip is that my hubby can't go with us due to a change of our vacation dates and previous commitments on his part. I wasn't going to go b/c he couldn't, but he is insisting that I go b/c of what happened with my best friend's mother last summer... you can never be guaranteed that there will always be a next time.

To make a long (sorry) post short, I will be enjoying this summer 75+ pounds lighter and the smallest size I've been in YEARS. I, by no means, have a bikini body! I am, nevertheless, excited about wearing shorts and a bathing suit in public without the fear of a harpoon warning being issued. :smile2:

:Banane23:Hello, fellow summer lovers; I was at Wal Mart the other day and noticed they had a huge ton of beautiful swimsuits both in regular size and plus size - gorgeous colours, great styles the works.

      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.
