Thank you all so very much

Jamie- you're so very kind and I appreciate it.

I too remember Margo totally flipping out about making the Big decision.

One thing that I have learned for sure is

" The fight is never never never Over" Unless I go to heaven & than I will choose

a permenate size 8 ;0)

Way to go on your first 40 lbs!

Go lift a 40 lbs bag of dirt at your favorite home store - 40 pounds is a LOT of weight to not be carrying around. You have every right to be dang proud of your progress :D

P.S. You look great - you can really see the difference ;)

Thank you PENNI for this great view of my before & afters. I just can't wait till I am another 40 pds down. It really makes me want to go workout right now. Also thank you for your kind words. I feel the very same of you!

Thank you Gwen & the best of me.

Ya know I would so love to have a big party one day with everyone who has lost let say 80 pds or more. We could all have huge photos of ourselves as our before shots around the room & than one by one all go & stand next to them for the whole room to see. ;)

Open bar & vegs for all!!

Christina, like Margo, I too remember the big "wait/weight", you were so patiently waiting, and now it's been a year!

Congratulations on the new you!

(Yikes that makes it exactly a year and a half for me, :omg: )

      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.
