Good morning, and let me tell you it is a good morning. Just got on the scales and am down 22 lbs. with 39 to go. I can fit back into my smallest jeans I had when I lost my weight on my lap band and am 7 lbs away from my lowest weight on the band. Once I got past the rash, this has been the easiest process ever. I did both of my county fairs and have just now caught up on my sleep. Its time to start exercising, as I was unable to walk these last two and a half weeks. Today I start my two miles a day again. How is everyone else doing? Sorry I havent been communicating lately? lets hear from everyone. I think of all of you often.

Hey girl, its great to hear from you..

I am doing pretty damned good I do believe. I am down 50 lbs and feeling pretty good. Just gotta learn the limits and I think spices hurt my tummy, learned that the hard way yesterday.

I am drinking my Protein and trying to get in more Water but a 20 oz bottle seems to be about it for now. I can have a bite of most anything it seems but I don't like the feel of solid food just yet so I'm not gonna try it often. I am making some cheddar potato Soup for me and home made chicken noodle for the family right now.. the smell is killing me. lol

I do find that I feel so very hungry, didn't really expect that .. but easy to make go away.

I do have heart burn issues but nothing that prilosec didnt help.. got a prescription for it from my doc and all is well.. I am very happy to also report that my doctor has stepped right in, started me off with the blood work I would have had with a follow up visit after my surgery, she was so awesome and supports the decision whole heartedly.. she informed me that I have lost 58 lbs since the last time I was in her office, and i no longer need meds for blood pressure or sugar or cholesterol.. hot damn !! :P

All in all I have no complaints and I would still do it all over again and again and again. I am very proud of myself for the food choices and the will power I have.. I am going out in public more and to madeline's school and sports functions.. which is why I did this to begin with.

How is everyone else? wonderful I hope. I sure loved meeting you and VIRGIL and hope to stay in touch.. my cell is 404-290-5959 and welcome to all my fellow sleeve sisters and Scott :P

i love ya lots and wishing you all the bestest

Vicky

      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.
