My 1st Before and "During" pics

Thanks again. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to get positive feedback. It feels so great, but not in a conceited way. It's just that as I'm sure you all understand, being heavy we insulted ourselves over and over. Seeing that what has haunted us for most of our lives can really turn around into something positive and something that gives us hope and incentive. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's real. But it is!

I feel pretty doggone good! I am off all of my blood pressure meds, I'm off my CPAP and hubby says I never snore anymore. So, I sleep better and wake up more rested. I am getting back into shape for the first time in years as losing the weight has eased the pain in my back due to 4 herniated discs. I ride my bike a mile 3 times a week, walk and swim. But, the best part of all...I can play with my grandkids again on the floor and in the pool. How much better could it get?

Thanks for asking.

Maddie, if you never lose another pound (not that, that is gonna happen) then what an achievement you have already made... I love the bit about playing on the floor with the grandchildren, how cool is that...

      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.
