I had to share this with you guys. This morning, I finally (!) hit eighty pounds down!! And, I decided to Google search for things that weigh 80 pounds. Guess what I found?? Snooki from Jersey Shore!! (Apparently she weighted 80 lbs at one point.)

Can you just imagine me having to carry her around?! Good riddance!! LOL!!!:frown:

That's funny and great news!! I realized the other day that I've lost a little over how much my daughter weighs, which is 43 lbs. I can't even carry her for a few minutes without feeling like she's killing me. So to then realize that's how much I was truly carrying on myself was a HUGE eye opener.

What a great idea to look it up online. No wonder the more weight you loose, the more energy you have. Keep up the good work!

Way funny, Catherine. Whether it be 80lbs of fat or 80lbs of Snookie...both would be VERY annoying to carry around.

I lost over half of me but I ended up finding the best part of me! The 130lbs of me that I lost was a miserable, tired and achey old woman.

Way to go, Catherine! You look amazing and, I'm sure are an inspiration to many.

From the time I started exercisiing 10/2008 to now (banded 8/10) I have lost 100 lb. At my old job I had to walk up basically 3 flights of stairs (carrying my computer) to get to my desk every morning. It would take me a couple minutes to catch my breath. Most people would have trouble carrying a hundred pound person and a briefcase (purse, laptop, lunch) up 3 flights of stairs!

I texted a close friend to let her know and she texted back that i'd lost the equivalent of her 12 year old daughter!

      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.
