HAHAHAHA @LilMissDiva!! Thanks! You are looking good yourself ;) Way to go!

@M2G Sounds like the hubby is doing AMAZINGLY well!! Yeah i'm the same way, totally gave up on the BMI thing. I started off at morbid obesity, got down through Obesity Class 2 and Class 1 and FINALLY hit "overweight" a couple of weeks ago. For me to get to "normal" weight, i'd have to be 185 and i'd probably look like a meth addict LOL!

My original goal was 225 and now its 210 and I think i'll probably be good there but who knows, i just know 185 aint happening! ROFL @ the height comment, you know they have those ancient limb stretchers...hmm...j/k

LOL @the ancient limb stretchers.:lol:

The funny thing is since he has lost weight all of the sudden he looks taller! People keep tellling him that and it is true, he does look taller! YAY! So I went back and looked at your photos again and the same thing is happening to you...both photos are full length photos and in your 2nd one you look WAY taller than in your 1st one. Funny how that happens.

I think most people need to "try" on a weight to see what is comfortable for them, regardless of the BMI, sounds like you are doing an excellent job at figuring out what weight you will feel your best at. Congrats!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
