Amazing! I am 1week out from my survey and praying to have the success you have. I am starting out about where you were and wanted to know if you could give me an idea of a typical day of food and exercise.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for posting this. I am 12 days out from my surgery and adjusting to life without constantly eating. My Mom is amazing, has always been so health conscious and good about maintaining a health weight and my issues with food are completely foreign to her. Unfortunately, we have a history of alcoholism in our extended family and when I tried to explain what food addition is like I asked my Mom if she would give one of our cousins a bottle of Jack and a shot glass with the instructions that they were to have four or five shots a day but no more and once they did that they had to stop for the day. I think it was then that she began to understand. I almost wish the addition had been to drugs or alcohol because those things you can truly live without. When I got back from Mexico I found myself shopping for handbags, a huge love of mine. After finding a few I liked I said. . . . . .that will be enough of that! I get on the scale every day and marvel. I am going on a cruise next year and for the first time in my life i feel confident that I'll be able to do all the things I have wanted to do on vacation and it makes me so happy and thankful I did this.

You look like a completely different person and I'm sure you feel like one. I'm so happy for you and appreciate all that you mentioned.

Ok Well I hoping that I trend the same way you did! I have not started working out yet, but I have to start soon. Did you work out a lot?

I was about the same size as you, but I had my boobs cut off a long long long time ago. I think I am probably a lane bryant 16 now which is probably a old navy 20. Sizes are so weird nothing is consistent.

I remember once back in 2003 when I lost the weight on my own I wore a size 14 jeans, but I was 190 at the time. I never got below a 14 jeans. They were express jeans. I still have them! I soooooo want to be a 10! or an 8. At 5'10" I could be smaller, but I looked great at a 14 so 10 would be CRAZY!

I am able to eat more now then when I first got sleeved. I can tell there is more room in there! The month you only lost 4 were you being super strict with your diet?

      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.
