So today my girlfriends and I went shopping for dresses for our friends services next weekend. It was an AMAZING feeling for me to pick out dresses that were 3-4 sizes smaller then what I had been wearing! I also got an awesome pair of heels to go with this new pink dress. I know my friend was guiding me in my choices today because they are all things I was going to walk away from initially.

We are all getting tattoos in her honor also. Can't wait for Friday, but Saturday can stay away for awhile. I had always thought about a tattoo but never did anything about it because of my weight. I must say, I am feeling damn good lately. I cut my hair off, bought a hot dress and "hooker heels" (not really, but they are high!), and am getting a tattoo.

Exciting things on the horizon. I might need to go dress shopping again!!

I love tattoos! I have 5 but they are all in simple places like my ankles and foot..ive been picky on where I get it because of my weight but I am using a new tattoo as a reward when I lose 100 lbs...I wanna get one on my shoulder. I never got one there because im too self conscious to wear a tank top and whats the point of a tattoo if u cant show it off right? Congrats on the dress and the new look! I cant wait til I get to the point where I can shop for smaller clothes! Reading these stories inspire me even more! What is ur tattoo going to be?

It is going to be an elephant with a pink ribbon incorporated into it. I'm super excited! I'll post a pic when it is done.

      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.
