happy 29th anniversary to me and my hub...

went and got flu shot (ouch) and weigh in for me..lost 5 pounds..total 145 pounds lost/no fills/17 months post op

i am happy and i am even more happy with the mobility aspect...knowing i can get out and walk a mile

or through stores and that i (can) in awesome..

i do regret not talking my measurements when i had surgery

i was just to ashamed to have hub do that..or anyone else for that matter.

hub had done that in the past, tracking inches lost and its a cool thing..maybe

why i love using my clothes as a (scale or judge) to see how i am doing..

i told hub i was bloated and i probably may have lost more and he said

we dont care what numbers say as they say different things all day long (true)

we care what the size is we are now.......today, i got a pair of 14's on

...yeah, i am okay with that.

had a halloween party at work.....i did eat some apple slicesm some slice cheese and 1 small brownie..

i brought my own beef pattie to eat......there was so many yummies, it all looked so good.....but what looked even

better was me knowing the scale was almost in the 180s....and nothing can taste as good as that..i ate what i wanted and not for one second did i feel deprived or left out..

came home and went to my aerobics class......hub came home and he said lets go walking

and i did that too....loving every day with my band and plication..

You are amazing, CG. It's quite liberating to be able to eat one brownie, and not feel the need to devour the entire plate. It's a good place to be! No, I take it back.......it's a GREAT place to be!!

      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.
