i'm down to a 4x.

oh! and in orientation in my new job today the store manager put the smack down on 4 teen girls who thought it would be cool to snicker at the fat lady (me) working in the plus size dept. in front of a bunch of other people he not so kindly reminded them I would be making 3x their income.

I like him. and he is cute too.

Woot!

I bought a new sweater from the regular clothes section...not the Plus Sizes! It's an XL, not a 1X, 2X, or 3X. Yay!

I brought my Dad home fromt he hospital today. He had a Warthins Tumor on his Parotid Gland in his neck. All biopsies came back negative for malignancy. He has a huge scar from around his ear lobe several inches down the side of his neck. The surgery involved not one, but two branches of facial nerves that come out of the skull and run down the face and neck. It was a complicated surgery, and the risk of losing his ability to move his face were great because of the way the tumor was situated. Thank the Lord his doctor is wise and experienced and Dad is well. He's shacked up at his house with his puppy dogs and a fridge full of Ensure and pudding and yogurt. He's sore but not in pain. Whew.

My husband did the dishes and washed the kitchen floors.

My kids are sleeping souundly in their comfy beds, happy and clean.

Tonight I threw away half a granola bar. I was trying to eat it because I took a bite...then I thought...I don't want that...why don't I just throw it away? Buh bye, empty calories!!! That felt good.

The big zit on my forehead is going away! And on the bright side, my bangs covered it anyway! We had a firedrill at work today and all had to go outside so I saw people I hadn't seen in a while. THREE people at work stopped by my office after the firedrill and told me I looked good - wanted to know what the heck I'd been doing. Yee haw!

I tentatively broke 200 this morning (199.5). Sometimes I have a scale malfuntion!

I feel smaller and no longer have to wear plus sizes.

I am waiting to buy a swimsuit, even though they are all coming out at the stores. Why is the positive? Well, I don't want to buy one, if I am going to need a size smaller in the next month!!!! DUH :biggrin1:

I have healthy kids and a sweet supportive husband.

Thanks for this thread. Shawn

      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.
