Hmmm. Not as flexible as I used to be, I don't think I will be able to see ms V without a mirror again, i will be able to see her tresses though, lol!

The correct term for number 3. IS either genitals or labia. Can't see your V unless you are a contorcionist(sp)

7. The numbers on your scale going down. Down. Down.

8. The numbers in your clothing sizes going down. Down. Down!

I'm not sure what it is called, but it is a line defining the muscle in your arms, thighs and calves. I had forgotten that was possible!

My children (14 and 12) being able to hug me 1 at a time and be able to clasp their hands behind my back for the very first time in their lives. :')

A picture of me crossing the finish line at a 5k race!

Me saying, no thanks, I don't want seconds.

Pure shock on the face of someone you haven't seen in a while.

      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.
