I've plateaued for over a month, and instead if feeling down about it, I wanted to share a little about how my life has changed in the past 3 months:

* Went from a 4x to a 2x in tops

* Went from a 26/28 to a 22 in bottoms

* I can fit in chairs with arms

* I can fit in a stadium seat

* I can fit in a movie theater seat

* I can fit in a restaurant booth

* I went roller skating

* I can run after my 4 year old at the park

* I don't sweat profusely anymore

* I can use a backseat seatbelt, and fit in the backseat of a car

* Training for a 5k. What?!!

* I can still breathe when I bend over to tie my shoes

* I put a recent picture of myself on Facebook, lol

I know there are more, but this is a huge difference for me. I used to stay indoors all the time, I would get winded from short walks and my body would hurt so bad with any physical activity. I stayed away from a lot of social activities because of my size. I'm not afraid to try something new now. I know it's super cliche, but I feel like I have my life back. :)

wonderful... it's great that you are so positive... I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in the number on the scale we forget there are other great things that can happen.. Best of luck to you in the future.. I think you will be successful as long as you stay positive...

      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.
