QOTD

Name- Teresa A.K.A. Sunny

Age- I turn 33 on August 2nd

From- Middle of nowhere Alberta, Canada...I mean that quite literally lol we live in the wilderness

Highest weight ,Current weight, Goal Weight- 243,218,110? I am only 5'2 and I haven't seen the lower 100's for so long I don't even know how to type them lol. But, my doc says shoot for it. So what the hell, I guess that's good enough for me ;)

Career- I work with special needs children as a educational assistant at a local school. I typically have a specific student assigned to me who is in kindergarten or lower elementary. I was a stay at home mom full time for ten years. I headed tons of committees and volunteered for EVERYTHING! This year, I QUIT! I am only staying on as a part time Sunday School teacher, and a leader for one of my daughters clubs. I quit parent council (P.T.A.), I quit women't group, I quit the children's theater, I quit volunteering on Thursdays at my daughters school. This year, I am joining belly dancing, curling and Zumba. I am going to smoosh my children's cheeks, and play board games with them. I am going to take pictures of them and take long walks after supper with them. I am going to PLAY with my kids and hang out with my darling hubby. I won't be rushing off to board meetings, I will be drinking a cup of Decaf earl grey and at the end of a day, just being happy sinking my heart into my family and find my Qwan!

Name: Kelly

Age: 31

From: Pittsburg, Texas

Highest Weight/Current Weight/Goal Weight: 253/240/150 or less

About Me: I'm a RN (admissions coordinator) at our local 25 bed hospital. I've been married to my hubby for 8 years. We have 2 little boys, ages 4 and 2. I have struggled with my weight for the past 8-9 years, but I have really had a problem since having my first child in 2007. Things I love: fishing, shopping, decorating, anything that has to do with Water (swimming, Water parks, water sports, etc...), and my current obsession is VST. I cannot get enough of everyone's experiences and advice. I absolutely LOVE this site/app. I'm sure I'm missing a lot but that's a start.

=)

I spent 2 years of talking about WLS unaccepting the complications of bypass to hear benefits of the sleeve and realize I was willing to do it ....then a 6 month process to be approved by Kaiser for Surgery. Was skinny until I had babies then just kept adding on pounds. Taking a 1 yr. radical sabatical to focus on establishing this new lifestyle and to take care of myself instead of everyone else. I have been very active in my church, love fun, friends, family, photos and am so excited for this adventure to freedom!

      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.
