Hi all,

I've been hovering around goal for weeks but today I am finally, officially there! I weighed 134.5 this morning. It's not my normal weigh in day, but I said the day I get to goal, that's the day I declare it!

Time to join the maintenance threads!!!!

I'm loving my new life. Over the course of this, I have spent time worrying I would never get to goal so it is extra sweet that I am here!

During the last 10 months I have learned:

  • How to walk with my knees closer together and my back straight because I'm not carrying 100+ extra pounds everywhere I go.
  • Tracking food and Water can be easy: I use a white board on my fridge door.
  • I have to have a group exercise. I simply will not exercise on my own.
  • I look great in $5 tshirts from Walmart and Target.
  • Probably two pounds of my weight loss is from my thinner hair, but it is coming back!
  • The freezer is my friend. I freeze lots of bits of veggies and meats and reuse them later.
  • Only the skinniest people obsess about my weight loss. What's up with that?

I'm looking forward to maintaining my weight and enjoying my healthy life. I feel like I've been given a gift of good health and I am enjoying it every day!

      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.
