Way to go, Cindy! And congrats for sticking with it all this time. You deserve to be very proud of your achievement!

One of the things I've started doing, now that I'm close to my goal, is taking a picture of the scale numbers when I hit a new low weight. It's great inspiration to stick wih things, and to try to get the number to go even lower. Funny how in the beginning the weight just fell off, but now that the goal is in sight, it seems to move slower and slower... ;)

Keep up the great work!

Dave

Thanks everybody. It's been a long road but one I would travel again. I'm so thankful for the success that I have had. I realize that I could gain that weight just as quickly as I lost it so I don't take my success for granted for a single minute. My first thought when I saw the number this morning was "OMG, I have to go update my ticker!" The next thing I did was put on workout clothes and head for the gym!

Thank you. I'm a big believer in paying it forward. I want every single one of us to be successful and wipe out obesity! But on a selfish note, coming here and reading the posts of others in every step of their journey helps to inspire me and keep me on track.

      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.
