Recommended Posts

Don't you mean the TD BANKNORTH GARDEN?????Just kidding, I knew what you meant !

Did you see Madonna???

Ok, my WOW moment..........wearing a two piece this summer and wearing it proud !!!!

LOL!!! I keep forgetting they changed the name again.... Yes I did see Madonna, and her show was amazing!!! She definitely knows how to get a crowd going.

Great for you to get into a piece. I've only been banded for 2 months, but I was at the Celtic Woman concert last night @ the Pavilion, and bought myself a goal shirt, one that I hope to fit in for my b-day in November.

My big WOW was - I went and bought an outfit that actually fit me on Friday night. (one good outfit that I can wear to church or outings -while I am on this weight loss journey). My mom came over on Saturday and I tried it on for her because I wanted to make sure it fit me - wasn't used to something actually fitting me. My 11 - year old daughter walked in the room and actually cried - and said I looked wonderful. She gave me the biggest hug and brought my mom to tears,too.She said she could tell her mother had a better shape under her clothes. Not this oversized baggy stuff that I normally wear.

Three years ago when I lost about 80lbs I remember one wow moment that I'll never forget. Actually it was a wow day. Before I went on my diet I weighed 250lbs and wore a size 20. Several months after dieting and after losing 80lbs I tried a pair of pants of my mom's a size 10!!! and I put it on, pulled it up over my hips and zipped it up. No, I couldn't breathe or walk, but they were ON! So to Celebrate I went to Lane Bryant in search of my new favorite pair of jeans and got a size 14, the smallest they carried in the store. It fit perfect. Perfect! I opened the fitting room door and told the salesgirl that this is a 14 and soon I wont be shopping there anymore, she smiled and said 'you go girl!'

Unfortunately I didn't lose much more because of a personal tragedy in my life, but I'm back on track now. Pretty soon I'll be in a 14 again, and looking for my new favorite pair of jeans in a size 12!~

I had a wow moment this weekend. I am in nursing school and when we are on clinical at the hospital we have a uniform that we have to wear. Last year, I bought a new set of uniforms for my second year. I had to buy an XL because the L was getting real tight and uncomfortable for me. I didn't have to wear my uniform for at least 3 or 4 months and I wore the XL to clinical yesterday and my friend said that I looked like I was swimming in it, LOL. I wore the L today and it wasn't tight in the arms or anything. I didn't try the pants, but those will be next, LOL. I should graduate in december, by then I had better be swimming in the large, 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.
