Yesterday it was in high 80's and now today it's dropped down to the high 60's. I was actually cold so I went into my closet to pull out my once favorite black cardigan.

The cardigan I wore the day I had surgery and I haven't worn in many months.

Holy cow' date=' I couldn't believe how huge it was on me! I mean, I guess I should've known because I've dropped 5-6 sizes since then, but putting that sweater on was a "wow" moment. It really put into perspective how far I've come. Especially considering the day of surgery, I couldn't button it because it was too tight across the tummy if I did.

So, I thought I'd share the difference. Here is me in the now massive sweater :)

Thanks! It's taken me 7 months to lose 128 pounds.

I'm still losing, though. Definitely not done yet.

I get asked this a lot, but the honest to God truth is I don't eat or do anything special. In fact, I still eat the same meals with my kids I did before surgery just healthier versions and smaller portions. For instance, I still eat Hamburger Helper, but I eat the whole grain versions and make it with lean turkey instead of ground beef, of course I eat a much smaller portion too.

The best advice I can give anyone is to see a nutritionist and get clear food guidelines set. Not a diet, but guidelines you can make your new lifestyle. For instance, I can't do low carb for a lifetime realistically. So, I don't do low carbs. However, I do monitor my Protein, carb, and fat intake daily to stay within reasonable guidelines. I also log my food and calories daily and have since the day I got home from the hospital.

Really, that's all I do. Nothing special.

      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.
