Well today is my 3 year bandaverary. No i am not ay goal 25 lbs away. But I have had so many accomplishments in the past three years. Who would have thought i would ever bike a 1/2 marathon and the icing on the cake was i finish ahead of many of 20somethings. I made a new years resolution and have already accomplished it. (spin class). Three years ago i couldn't have done those things. I fit in places more comfortably like booths at a resturant. I ask for things done the way i want them in resturants and get them like how things are cooked, substitutions and my famous please give me a doggy bag when you give me my food. And no i don't care where we go to eat cause food isn't that important to me. I am no longer or will ever be part of the clean plate club. Color is part of my clothes choice. My pressure is down and only take 1 med. for it. This carb girl doesn't miss rice or Pasta or so much bread. It has and still is a journey. We have all had our ups and downs. So if you ask me am I happy with my decision 3 yrs ago i can totally say yes. Good luck on your journey may you all be happy with your decision. Thanks for listining.

That's great! I'm only 7 months post surgery, but I have no regrets either. I'm down 52 pounds and doing more things as the weight comes off. It feels so good to get out more and experience life instead of sitting and watching it pass by. Congrats to you. Your definitely an inspiration!! :)

      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.
