Today I left the obese category for good. I am just overweight. My two pairs of borrowed size 18 jeans are getting loose. Whoopee!

It sure feels good. I still do a double take when I see myself in the mirror...it's like I am seeing some other person... It seems like just yesterday I was heading off to Mexicali for the surgery...

By the summer I'll be able to shop for a "permanent" wardrobe...that will be FUN.

Thanks for all the support, y'all.

Horray for Cajun! (doing the happy dance) how great is that? I'm getting there. . they say slow and steady wins the race. . . well that is good. . .I'm hoping to have the majority of my weight lost by October/Nov. . . my mom is coming to visit me and hasn't seen me since 2008. . then i weighed 350 lbs. . . she knows i had the surgery but i don't think she understands the concept of it. . . to her it's just another attempt in my life to lose weight. . . just wait! Good luck Cajun. . . keep up the excellent work!

My son live away from me and he came home after I lost 100 pounds....... and he actually cried! He couldn't believe I looked like I did...Kinda worried me at first.... I asked him , do I look sick or something. and his reply was- no. you look great!

Kinda surprised me......... so be prepared...... people who love you that you havn't seen in a while will act different.... I sure wasn't expecting that from my son.

Thanks Daisy. I've been real busy...have had some company visiting and done some travelling so I've been off the web for a while.

Hooray! Congratulations!

I started out as a lightweight and I'm just a few days away from being "overweight." Can't wait!

Congratulations! I can't count the times I've given all my big girl clothes away and bought small sizes...but I believe this surgery can help each of us make it the last time that happens, and the first time we really do get to have a normal wardrobe that lasts!

      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.
