Thank you Julia! Love you too girl!

I'm feeling a bit better today. Yesterday was just one of those days where nothing seemed to work out. I don't mean I had a bad day really just my insides were crying some. I'm in better spirits today - which is strange because (as you already know Julia) my scale was being a booger... LOL Ahhh well, all it did was make me want to work even harder. Gawsh it seems like the smaller I get the much harder it is to shed these pounds!!

I'm going to kick the carbs out completely for the next few weeks and see if that helps the scale move some. No breads, no nothing. All my carbs will come from what's in my Protein foods. I don't usually do this very often, but it might be what I need to do to get to my goal. I've always said I'll do one thing as long as it works, once it doesn't anymore it's time to change up the routine. Well, it's time for a change. :)

I've already gotten back to my normal workout schedule, so I'm sure that's helping. I also know this is my slow time of the month where I just don't lose a whole lot. My fast time is approaching and I'm going to give it all I've got. I really wanna get out of the 90's... it's time now.

THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!! My mental status is WAY better from yesterday and it's only because of all of you. ^_^:wub:

Glad it's a new day. I'm kind of late to offer anything, but nothing beats a good facial or pedicure to make me feel "pretty" and help me get out of my funk.

Oh girl I totally know what you mean! It's crazy, cuz we've come so far and yet at times feel FAT??? I'm dealing with the loose skin issue now! It's so gross. I think I would be at least 125 if I didn't have all this loose skin (eeewww). Don't get me wrong I'M SO THANKFUL and HAPPY to be where I am today. I just think it's normal to have these types of feelings. Just keep reminding yourself of where you have come from girrrl! Go try on those big mama pants and look at your size 8 levi pants pics...YOU LOOK AWESOME!

LET'S ENJOY THIS JOURNEY!!!!!! It's SOOOO EXCITING and AMAZING!!!! And truly a MIRACLE!!!!!

Love ya!

      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.
