*blushing* lol thanks Kel! Still 10kgs (or more, depending on how happy I am when I get there) to go for my goal, but I gotta tell, it is feeling good!

You're getting there too!! Only 13 to go - we'll probably hit it on the same day lol.

Ready for that end of journey party? :( I'll head up to Sydney (was there just over the weekend)...

Hey Loulou thanks for the compliment. I have and still am going through the huge loss of food thing. I was and still am an emotional eater, so I am trying to find other ways of dealing with issues instead of with food. The reason my weight loss has been so slow is because of this reason. I lose 2 kgs and put them back on and lose them for a couple of months and so on. I am alot better than what I was, but nowhere near "cured". I really wonder if I ever will be. Im also fighting the head hunger thing alot too.

You will have to meet up with Jess and I one day we will organise an Aussie LBT meet up. :(

Kel, that sounds wonderful!! I would love to meet you and Jess!! And you too Teresa!!

With the losing weight and putting it back on thing; what can happen with me is that I get scared. Someone will say "wow you've lost weight" and I suddenly feel undressed. Or I notice the fat coming of and feel vulnerable, then go and eat to correct the problem and make myself feel safe again. I think I will have to try to redefine 'safe' - maybe safe is being fit enough to runaway with-out having a heart attack!!

      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.
