You know you lost weight when

sad story

many years ago

family was going for a nice drive

i was sitting in the back seat with my siblings

wasn't a smooth ride

while dad was driving, the back end of the car was

in a lower "position"

car was weighed down

not sure i'm saying the above right

i commented about the situation a few times

asking dad what's the problem

what is the matter

what's going on

he FINALLY said. there's a lot more weight where you are sitting

i wanted to die

he wasn't being mean, he just answered my question

dad died 20 years ago today

i wish he was alive today so he could see me now

he would have been so proud

Don't have to fight for the arm rest

@@OKCPirate

that's a good one that i hadn't thought of

i was talking to my "neighbor" sitting next to me on the plain

(hubby says i can strike up a conversation with a lamp post) :lol:

shortly after we started our chat

she said something like "let me pull this down for you" (referring to the arm rest)

or is it the other way around :wacko:

don't have that prob anymore - i frequently sit in the middle seat

on the plain!!!

how cool is that?? :rolleyes:

I noticed today the seat belt has about a foot of slack today. Last year I fretted if I could suck in the gut enough to avoid the "extender of shame" ????

Just went to the Dr and the assistant says "the big BP cuff is too big for you now! It's not accurately recording your blood pressure!!!" Woooohooo!

When you drop something on the floor and before would try to figure how you would pick it up and now you just bend over and pick it up! And you can rub your own feet!!!

btw, my husband calls me Tiny. TINY! hahaha! He loves how he can wrap his arms all around me.

      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.
