I would like to join I'm 5'2 266.6 pounds today. I'm in southern California, I am a Kaiser Permanente patient. I plan on having surgery in West Los Angeles soon hopefully. I have completed all of their requirements and waiting for the call to schedule an appointment with a surgeon.

How is everyone doing? I'm anxious to follow your progress.

I found an old WW boom and was sad to see that at 204 I was still a size 18. I'm a very tight 20, refuse to buy anymore clothes for now.

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted. Life got busy, we've sold our house and are trying to buy a new one, but we live in Silicon Valley and houses are hard to come by, and we've been in a few bidding wars and it's making me crazy! AND when I'm stressed I look for food, and now I can't, so I'm working on that. Fun abounds! Mama's stressed, the kids are stressed and the dog is napping in the sunshine. Oh the life.

So I've lost (at least) 40lbs from my surgery date of feb 29/12, so I'm bringing up the rear, but I'm okay with that. (I haven't weighed myself in over a week, so not sure of the exact number, but last time is was like 42ish.)

I've signed up for my first triathlon, and I've started running which is something I've always hated, but it's so much easier with 60+ less pounds hanging off of me. (I lost 20 before surgery)

Anyhow, to all my shortie sleevers, I love you all! I see all of your messages since they are sent to my email. It's such a breath of fresh air for me! I'm not alone!

      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.
