i really pondered whether to post this or not

(i do not want to come across as bragging or boasting)

however i wanted to share as its pretty darn kewl.

this week alone, 5 people have said something to me about my weight loss (from out of the blue)...3 did not know i have had the surgery.

1. Jennifer who is our companys CFO, came up to me and said you are looking so good.

2. Darielle came up to me and said whatever you are doing, keep it going as you are looking (skinny)

3. Pat who is one of our accountants said you are looking amazing

4. Tiffany said i can really tell you are losing weight.

5. Dunkin Doughnut drive thru lady said wow, you have lost some weight

so i said the thank you and how sweet (and the southern thing well bless your heart)...i am excited that people notice or are noticing....still difficult to say (thank you) but i am getting use to it :)

The Dunkin Donut drive thru lady?!

a) what the heck were you doing at Dunkin Junkin Donuts?

B) I thought southerners all swore to be faithful to Krispy Kreme?

But seriously, I'm proud of you for being able to share those comments. Nothing wrong with bragging on something you worked so hard for!

I always find it easier to accept compliments from strangers. I usually dismiss comments from coworkers and friends as being intentional encouragement. A peril of working in the behavioral health field is becoming jaded to praise as reinforcement.

I still (4 1/2 years out) will get a compliment from someone that hasn't seen me in awhile. While it still feels great, I also wonder-will they always remember the heavy me? I've been this size for 3 1/2 years now.

Of course this is the perfect forum to "brag". There are newbies out there that need to hear it. Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration!

God Bless

      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.
