When your children hug you and they can wrap their arms ALL THE WAY AROUND your waist. My 9 year old's hands overlapped this weekend and for first time and he said, "Mom! I'm so proud of you!" I melted...

When you get mad at your kids and put your hand on your hip and for the first time actually feel a hip bone. I was so thrilled I forgot what I was mad at my kids for:)

Your husband gives you a hug and says "huh, that's new..." he was able to wrap his arms around me and over lap his arms. He even did a retake on the hug to verify!

When you put on a few pounds and that's okay – because it puts you closer to your goal weight. :rolleyes:

      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.
