Congratulations on the grandbaby. They're fun aren't they? I have one and a second on the way in April. Can't wait!! Your pics are so inspiring. I'm down 56lbs after 9 mos post-op and getting kind of depressed. The scales have only went down 5lbs over the last 3 months. :-( Don't know what to do and my Dr is 5 hrs away. I need to call but I keep thinking the numbers have GOT to start dropping soon!

Thanks for the pick me up with the pics and keep up the good work. You are awesome!!

Hi Everybody!

I'm new here! I just got approved by my insurance and I am 2 to 3 weeks from surgery.

I'm 44. Married for 14 years with a 10 and 6 year old.

I live in Hawaii and I'm SO over avoiding the beach! I'm beyond excited that within a year I won't feel like I need to!

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I've lost 94# since surgery 4/30/13 in about 5 months or so. What an amazing journey. #fabulousme@43 :-)

Congratulations and your right. The 40's are the new 20's (only with a little more maturity restraint, lol)!

      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.
