Hello! I'm still alive and well. Two thing... Anyone who ever says that wls is the easy way out is full of crap..my 90 day challenge is challenging. Second, this CPA exam is kicking my butt. Hard stuff. Studying hard and craving chocolate ( I hate sweets usually)

Good thing there is wine in the world. Had a glass of old vine zin and now I'm off to bed. Sorry I haven't been up on you lives. Hope all is well. Miss hanging out. My one year bandanniversary is on next Sunday...can't believe it!

I knew that CPA exam was going to be tough and can totally understand the stress you must be under. Like most of us, stress= cravings= LBS not being the easy way out.lol

The hardest part of my knee replacements hss been the inability to sleep and when laying awake all night, all I want to do is eat. I have not had an eating at night problem, until know.YIKES!

Not sure my Dr will buy that excuse.....

I bet your 90 challenge is keeping you in good shape.

you can do it!

In 1 yr I was banded, port revision and 2 knee replacements, I am done!!!

Mini hang in there and you are correct, anyone who ever said this was easy is full of crap. I am challenged daily with eating the right food and making good choices . In times if stress I crave sweets, something new for me. I allow myself dark chocolate on those nights and chase with wine. Lol probably not the best option but better than eating the whole package or drinking the whole bottle.

I had a friend who sat for there CPA and I feel for you ,she said hardest thing she ever did.i know you can do this ,if you can live with LB you can accomplish anything. We are always here for you .

How's your son doing? How was the exam? How are YOU? Did you wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of you? You were definitely close.

You wouldn't wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of yourself, at least I wouldn't.

Happy belated 19th anniversary, skinny mini!

Makes sense that one rockstar would hang out with another rockstar.

Talk about wanting to jump some bones! Ugh...good thing my hubby is hot!

Studying is still going strong. I hate it!

I haven't received my approved application back to even sit for the exam so I'm a ball of nerves. The window is oct-nov only.

      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.
