Folks, please know that unless a FB page is "secret", your friends (and anyone else!) can see that you belong to the group! Unless you're ok with everyone knowing you belong to "Bariatric Surgeries 2016", please be careful. If you're ok with everyone knowing, rock on! I just feel that not everyone understand that "closed" is NOT the same as "private". See pic for what I was easily able to find with a quick search...

Is it a "secret" group? I want to join it also, but do not want anyone on my friends list (or anyone who is not a member of the group for that matter) to see that I am in it, or see any of my posts.

Holy smoke! Just bought shorts in a size 8! Tried the 6 on and did get them buttoned but they were still pretty tight. If I had confidence I'd keep losing I would have got them but it's so slow now, it's hard to believe I'll actually lose enough for them to fit right. I'm happy with the 8 and never dreamed I'd ever be this size again!! Happy Spring!!

Here is my NSV. I got my engagement ring out of the safe and it fits.! It has been so long since I have worn it that I forgot how beautiful it was!

I haven't had many NSV I'm only two months out so everything is slowly changing. Last week I had a few of my students make comments about how skinny I'm getting and how great I look- that is coming from HS students. I was also able to get into a pair of pants two sizes smaller today pants I haven't worn in at least 7 years-before I had my youngest!

Today I saw my primary doctor. The nurse taking my vitals used a standard Size blood pressure cuff on me!!! That's never happened in my adult life.... Always had the larger size cuff!!!

It's the little things that really hit home as cool NSV's.

Last week.....getting dressed at the gym.....crossed my legs and couldn't believe how easy it was.

Now....when I go out to restaurants.....I always request a booth.

Last week at work I even sat at one of our booths in the cafeteria. Everyone complains about how small these things are....yet there I was....sitting there and was completely comfortable.

      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.
