I actually worked out off/on a lot when I was heavy' date=' so I think it was all just waiting to emerge. Post-op, I started swimming (with a Master's team) around 2months. I did that about 3 days a week until nearly a year post-op, and then I got bored and started doing spin classes and trail running. I'm now certified as a spin instructor and will start teaching at some point when my normal job isn't crazy :-P working out is certainly different/easier now![/quote']

Great job. You look amazing.

Thanks! I've tried a million different mascaras (expensive and drug store), and I keep going back to L'oreal Voluminous non-waterproof in Blackest Black. It's the ordinary/original bottle that is grey in color. Important to curl the lashes before application (at least for me).

I also found when I started taking Biotin for the Hair loss during weight loss that my lashes saw some of the benefit too. :)

Thanks you SO much for all the kind comments. What a way to start a Wed and read all that! Big smiles!

Also, not to self-promote too much, but I have a YouTube channel documenting my journey (haven't recorded in a long time)... EricaVSGJourney. I always found other people's stories helpful. :-)

Much love to everyone...

      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.
