normally my silly success stories are related to (something on me or that i am doing) todays silly success is not one but 2 people commenting on my WL.

first was my ole man..do i count that or not?

i mean does he have to say it or get in trouble??

you'd think after 28+ yrs of marriage he'd say it anyhow...haha

no, yesterday, i got home from work and he met me at the door

and said *hey skinny*..looking good..........far from being skinny but def could have tied a brick to my foot to bring me back down to earth :)

second was me walking in to my monthly nail salon appt this morning

been coming to this place for 7 yrs and lyn has saw me at reg weight and at my heaviest 7 months ago..so i walk in, carrying my DD coffee and she said, my gosh you have lost alot of weight

could have kissed her dead on her mouth :)

so to hear someone comment on you (from out of the blue)

made me feel wonderful

i consider this silly success post a good thing.

Isn't it funny how someone can make your day? It makes all the bad days seem not so bad at all. That bad will never equal how great the great feels! Kind of like childbirth, you swear you'll never put yourself through it again! Then you see that it was just a small blip on life's map, that meant nothing compared to the rewards! Married for 28+ years, you are obviously beautiful on the inside and out! Thanks for sharing your story!

You never know who's watching you......

A lady who works the cash register in the cafeteria at one of the Hospitals I go to, flat out said to me the other day.."Wow are you skinny...how much did you loose? 100lbs?"

Mind you, this is a person who I do not know and never have a conversation with other tan to say "Thank You"

But she was obviously monitoring my progress for quite some time.....

      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.
