Been awhile since I've updated! Shoot, been awhile since I was on this board at all! I tend to spend so much time at work and for some reason VST runs SUPER SLOW on my work computer :( So anyways, I weighed in this morning and I'm down to 157.2!! WOOHOO Over just 6lbs till Goal!! OMG I can't believe I am this close! A week and a half until my 10 month mark and I've lost 93.6lbs! I really can't believe it!

Had our neighbors over for a BBQ last night and we got to talking and it came up about my surgery which I'm totally cool with sharing and the wife was Totally into hearing all about it. Her and her husband are "large" people and have A LOT of health issues. I was very happy to share my story/journey with them! Sat and looked at photos because they have only known me now! They were both speechless! LOL The husband was talking to me about how he doesn't picture himself a 300lb+ man until he sees himself in a picture and then he's like WTF! I remember that so well from before surgery. I totally didn't think that I was as big as I was! I swore I was comfortable even though I knew I had "put on a Little weight"! LOL But what is even craizier then that is I still feel this way but opposite! I feel Bigger then I am! LOL When I sit here I feel bigger and then I see a picture of myself and I'm like OMG Is that Me?? WOW!! LOL It's just all crazy head games I guess!

So here I am, near my goal weight and feeling FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am running my 6th 5K this weekend (even though I have totally NOT been working out/training for it), I am wearing a size 10 pants kind of! LOL An 8 is still too small but a 10 is too big, I hate being inbetween sizes! LOL I'm in a Medium shirt/dress and LOVING 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.
