You look great!!

Thank you. I have about 12 pounds until my goal but weight loss has been super slow lately (1-2 pounds a month) so it's been a bit frustrating.

I'm sure that happens when you get closer to actual goal. Maybe slight changes here and there to your diet may help and increasing exercise. Do you have a lot of excess skin?

My skin is not to bad. My arms are the worst but a I carried a lot of weight in my arms. I still have a spare tire look to my belly but not super loose. My thoughts to my shock have bounced back great.

Also I've noticed as my weight has slown down my skin has gotten better!

For the first time in years you buy a top from the 'normal' section not the plus size section in Target.

Getting ready for ski season, I dug out a parka that I bought ten years ago (and I was heavy 10 years ago), and it is 1-2 sizes too big.

When you start seeing and feeling bones you forgot you had!

Does anyone else like to find and feel your unearthed bones? Last night I was laying down and rested my hand on my belly and noticed my ribs were right there! Counted them on each side! I am also totally fascinated with my collarbone




About 4 myths ago I found my ribs too! wow, I was amazed... Along with ankles and shines and bones on top of my feet wow ...where did they come from??? lol

Oh that happened to me when I got pulled over for speeding. He looked at my license and said, "That is not you!" I just laughed. He had me show him before and after photos just to prove my identity. Then he asked me a whole bunch of questions. By the time we were done, he forgot to give me a ticket for speeding and had taken down my number [emoji41]. I was a smooth operator!
P.S he is really cute and I have a date this Friday!!

Best story ever!!!!

When you can finally put your wedding ring back on! (I call it a success, even though it’s a little snug). 😍😊

      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.
