Yaay me! Lol Rode my bike 2 miles AFTER pushing it down the hill and then UP the hill. Folks, this ain't just ANY hill. Straight up ! My driveway is a long straight up drive to the top of a hill! It scares everyone who has to drive it the first time. All I could think of the whole time was " da da da da daa da. Da da da da daaa da...". Think Dorothy. Lol

Thanks NannieG. I'm 5'3", so I'm a shortie... LOL I haven't seen my surgeon since a few days after surgery- he's in TX, I'm in MO. I've worked w/my PCP during the past year and he set the goal of 120# for me w/the reasoning that it would give me 5# of wiggle room. He has seen me struggle for years on the weight thing and so I am going for it. I haven't been 120# since probably junior high... 140's probably early high school. By the time I graduated h.s., I was probably knocking on 200#...

Etiher that or buy a pair of suspenders. I'm so gonna kill this challenge. I have so much more energy now it's so hard to believe.

      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.
